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 ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Okay, Linda Reeder .  Okay, Arkansas Patti .  Yours is NOT a club I wanted to join.  But I did anyway. Bike meets car; face meets pavement.  Olga meets EMTs, gets ride to ER, meets nurses, doctors and X-ray technicians, and friendly police officer who issues a citation for negligent bike riding.  Not pretty.  So very not pretty. Are you ready for this? Yes. I was wearing my helmet. Plenty of bruises and swellings, but no broken bones, no concussion.   I will take it easy for the next few days, but first order of business is to go out and purchase purple eye shadow.
