Welcome: Good morning. It is already too hot this morning. The humidity in this school is thicker inside than it is outside. When my time at PHS is over I will miss it. Even though the temperature can range from too cold all the way to too hot, this building has been my home for learning for four years. It deserves much credit in making me who I am today, for better or for worse, I thank PHS. Now I know you must be getting all teary eyed from my opening, but save your tears, there are still some more Berkshire Weather posts to come...

Welcome: Good morning. Three AP tests are done, one to go. It is looking like cloudy times for us, showery days are ahead. We have some plants that are having difficulty growing, others though are doing well. The plants with trouble were recently repotted. That might be the reason.

Monday/May/4/2026

Welcome: Good morning. Chilly this morning. Ok, I am ready for summer. My advisor for this independent study saw some flakes yesterday. Well, I have decided, no more winter weather, no more spring, I want summer. While my dad and I were walking yesterday we saw a fox. We also found the remains of what it ate. A fun fact is that warm temperatures and frequent rain speed up decomposition. Maybe that is not that fun after all...

Wednesday/April/29/2026

Welcome: Good morning. Earlier today I was telling my mom the saying, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky at morning, sailor's take warning". The context is that when I had peered out the window just as dawn approached, the clouds were red. This is likely the warning sign for tonight's rain. It is funny that I was telling my mom all of this because she was the one who first taught me the sayings...

Friday/April/17/2026

Welcome: Good morning. April Break starts later today, so no Berkshire Weather posts next week. For many years of my life I despised the heat and humidity. However, after my brain injury I have come to feel more comfortable in heat than in cool. Still the humidity is a bit challenging, but not like it used to be.
