It's been a bad year for tomatoes here in northwest Washington....

The rude calling card of changing seasons are the cold temps.at night -- like around 45 degrees! It has been so hot this year that it seemed summer would stretch on 4-evuhh... Alas, the wonderful warm shades of fall are ushered in on cooling breezes. ~ summer fades and seasons change same old friends the wind and rain we'll see summer come again ~

The Perseid metor showers have started and will peak on the night of the 11th-12th and the crescent moon will be setting early. I went out to try and see the northern lights that were supposed to come our way a couple nights ago. I didn't see them but did see over 20 shooting stars by midnight. The weather? Sunny and in the 70's.

...you can shut the windows and run a dehumidifier. Still noise and expense and electricity usage (quite a bit, actually) but it's not AC if that's what you object to. Stay cool. I strongly dislike the humidity also.

Outside is even hotter, and at least the house give protection from the sun, butam feeling pretty yukky about it-like a 300 pound slug actually. It is the 11th or 12th day like this, and much as I swore I hated them; I am fantasizing about air conditioning-especially when the temperature in the house is 95 or so at midnight. ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

Hazy, hot & humid in the Green Mtns of Vermont. Summertime and the livin' is ez

frickin muggy here in nashville today!

in the Green Mtn.s of Vt, typical June weather

after the rainiest spring in my 11 years on the Oregon coast it looks as though summer is here. The first couple days of Memorial day weekend were pretty nice though. Me and the doggie hiked to Blossom Bar in the Wild Rogue Wilderness area. It was only a four mile round trip but since Sheba is almost 17 years old it's about the most we can do. Am getting ready now to go climb a peak that's 3,040 ft. high and only 3 miles from the ocean. Spent a little time on the mountain Spent a little time on the hill Things went down we don't understand But I think in time we will
