There are a few cumulus clouds forming over the mountains north of the Grand Canyon at the time this image was taken. We seem to be having a lack of our usual monsoon rains with a side effect of warmer than usual temperatures. Rest assured that there will eventually be a return to normal to come hopefully sooner than later. The global climate scammers are unnecessarily worrisome over <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/2017\/02\/08\/global-warming-lies-exposed-again\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">normal weather<\/a> deviations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lughnasadh-cb.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"190\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8360\" srcset=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lughnasadh-cb.png 500w, http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/lughnasadh-cb-300x114.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;re about halfway between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox it is again a Celtic Cross Quarter celebration of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lughnasadh\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lughnasadh<\/a> which means (to us) that there must be a traditional Irish or Scottish meal to be consumed.

There may be a traditional Irish Cocktail involved.<\/p>\n<p>We will be posting about our feast on our <a href=\"http:\/\/food.vernabob.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Food Website<\/a> later this weekend.
