I've never had ripe tomatoes in July until this year. Weather is interesting, but there's nothing we can do about it other than accept it for what it is. <br />Your home looks like a cozy place to spend rainy days. Good thing we don't have to follow blog rules - I blog about the same things all the time.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-13068289300561110442013-08-05T09:32:37.247-04:002013-08-05T09:32:37.247-04:00I see that you are capturing "water" pho...I see that you are capturing "water" photos!

I'm just hoping that it dries out for August and we can have a late season crop.

A smaller house nestled in the woods. Just seems like a good place to be. I watched the news this morning about all the embassy's around the countries being on lock down and many other things going on. I rarely watch the news in fact I was on my way to Andy Griffith when that info caught my attention. Just want you to know your blog is an encouragement to me and if you ever decide to you are going to move please let us know. I'd love the chance to be hidden away some place.

Did you know that, as I told Kathleen of the blog "Maine", this weather on the weekend and perhaps for a few days to come is due to an Arctic Cyclone?? Yep. That's what I read on the internet. It's pushing unseasonably cold air down over parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes and since Maine is right next door, you as well. It will bring unsettled weather with sunshine then pop up showers and thunder showers for a few days. Fun eh? Amazing what one learns on Facebook (from a Meteorologist). She also reported that the Maritimes will experience a nice hot high by mid-August. For that I'm thankful as we will arrive home about then. :) BC has had little rain in July but got some showers Friday and Saturday. It's sunny and warm here in Calgary, but feels a lot like September. So, Hang on Vee. It will be sunny and hot soon. :) Have a great Sunday!Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-89109598505609424512013-08-03T20:44:33.377-04:002013-08-03T20:44:33.377-04:00We've had a lot of rain here, especially compa...We've had a lot of rain here, especially compared to the last 2 summers, but I can't say that it's too much.

I say phooey on that. <br /><br />We are having a decent summer so far. It was very hot and humid there for a bit, but lately the temps have been really nice and we've had some needed rain. Just hope the rains don't start and never end, as they did back in the spring.<br /><br />Your couch is calling me, too. Our son surprised us by popping in yesterday. He was in ME and RI for meetings all week and I had no idea he was driving in once he arrived back in KC. We stayed up late visiting. I'm behind on blog visiting and trying to catch up here and there as I can. But I'm finding it hard keeping the peepers open!<br /><br />Have a nice weekend!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-55531243716367095972013-08-03T15:02:11.349-04:002013-08-03T15:02:11.349-04:00We have had way too much rain here.

Yes, too much of a good thing wreaks havoc. <br /><br />I like your couch idea, though I am heavy in work mode this week.<br /><br />I have every day spoken for coming up so need to get things DONE, though I am in the mood to curl up with my book instead.
