Hot in Mississippi

I thought I could deal with humidity, being from Virginia, but the heat and humidity here in Waveland, MS are really intense!  Yesterday, we walked from the campground out to the main road which runs along the Gulf.  By the time we got there, Ranger was more than ready for a nice swim. 

This has turned out to be a great place for birdwatching.  There are red-headed woodpeckers everywhere, and yesterday we added common night hawk and indigo bunting to the trip list.  Our site is wooded behind, so yesterday, during the heat of the day, we relaxed in the shade, read, and watched the birds as they came by.  It cooled off somewhat in the evening, but that's when the insect attack began.  (Note: We will NOT try to eat dinner outside at the picnic table tonight.)  What a treat at the end of the day to get into the RV and turn on that air-conditioning so that we can get some sleep! 

This morning I walked the dog at 6:30, and it was already 72 degrees.....and oh, yes, VERY humid!
