Baby, it's cold outside

I cannot believe the weather we are having. I shouldn't complain, really, but it is quite a shock. Last week we were sweltering but this week we've been lucky to reach the mid-60s. Burr!
And the forecasts keep saying rain but we've barely had a drop. We need the rain. The grass is looking a little brown in some spots.
Maybe there is a reason for this weather change. C sent this tidbit today: According to my FleetFarm calendar, July 3rd is Aphelion (when Earth’s orbit takes it farthest away from the sun).
Perhaps that is why? We are just getting farther away from the sun?
Well, it will warm up soon enough. In no time we will be wishing for those cooler days again.
