Summer in Vermont

 Vermont's unofficial start of summer is Memorial Day weekend, fairly dreary this year.  Monday and Tuesday of this past week the temperatures were in the 90's and humidity in the downright steamy range. Wednesday there was no humidity and the temperature only went into the 80's -- which meant there was not a heat wave since the weather people declared that would require three consecutive days in the 90's.

This morning (Thursday) we woke up to a temperature in low 50's and immediately donned flannel shirts. Vermont summer!

No matter the temperature, the summertime is beautiful. It is the Green Mountain State.

    I love Vermnt Summers. I spent 13 summers there. I liked that it wasn't normally in the 90s. And c'mon it's gorgeous there!

    You have me craving a Vermont summer. These 90+ days get old all ready.

    I have never been to Vermont, but it looks like a place I would like to visit. Enjoy your summer, regardless of the temperature. LOL.

    It all looks so lovely! Especially as I'm watching the rain chucking down here today. :)

    Agree, Vermont is wonderful ... in the summer! Although a skier might like winter better.

    I love seeing Vermont photos. I visited that Morgan horse farm a long time ago.

    Being a permanent resident in NE PA for the past 4 years, I have indeed discovered how short summer really is. It is to be enjoyed every possible day! Maine is my favorite, but Vermont is a close second!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
