Happy Friday! Enjoying The Cooler Weather...

After an entire week of ridiculous humidity,  the weather has finally changed course.  It certainly is sunny today, but the humid weather is finally gone.  For now...

I have been attempting to draw in the park, with limited results.  First:  the Humidity was unbearable so I mostly hid in the shade and kept things simple.  

Then there were the "rain squalls" that washed my labors away almost as soon as I finished them.  ( My poor dragon...) 

But finally, after a brief shower last night,  the sauna has been turned off... For now...

Our missing vehicle was a concern for the Farmer's Market yesterday, but it should not have been.  First, we secured a loaner car from the mechanic Wednesday, so we could attend!

And second,  even with the cooler weather, the people simply were not there last night.  Add in that it rained about an hour before the close of the show, and whatever few people were left, immediately fled the scene. in all we only made about $30... So even if we had missed it, we would not have been missing much. Fingers crossed that the Market in Kalona does not share the same fate.

But today, I had clear skies and high pressure to do my chalk drawings.  I think it turned out pretty good. 

And lastly,  wanted to show off the dragonfly swarm that has been patrolling our area this week.  I don't know if the gif will show it, but they dart and dash after the gnats and black flies that the humid weather brings.   Basically,  I love the dragon flies!  They are pretty and keep the yard free of biting bugs. They were joined by some Martins or Swallows as well. (* hard to tell in the dim light.) but together, cheer for them to eat as much as they can.  Their dances in the evening are quite a sight to behold.

Hope everyone is enjoying better weather this week.  Looks like next week will be dry, and hopefully, a little less humid as well.  Thanks for stopping in.
