June 2023 was a cool and very nice month. Some mornings started out in the 40’s however most mornings were in the 50’s and 60’s. The afternoons were in the 70’s and low 80’s. The last week featured hazy smoke filled skies thanks to the Canadian fires. The hills were filling out with light green leaves except for the oaks. The May frosts killed many leaves and then the Gypsy moths enjoyed eating oak leaves.
