Our AC went out during an unusually hot early summer. For several days the temp topped 100 degrees. The highpoint of the summer was getting the AC fixed!

I've seen a {harrond/ is that spelled rite? websters pocket dictionary doesn't have it}flying over where I work every morning. Takes me back. As a kid growin up on the Chesapeak we had a harrond that used to hang out on the end of our pear. Listening to our music, conversations and just kinda wantin' to hang out. My Mom named him HARRY and loved when he was there. I see a harrond now and it makes me smile wide. This harrond that flies over my plant evrey morning at the same time, when I happen to be there, is it Harry? The stirring in me likes to think so. Harry lives in Lincoln NE now. Ain't that nice.

Air show at Quonset Point R.I. Weather was perfect, sky had unlimited visibility, pilots excelled in performance. A rare sky in New England. Great day for photos. I went with my best friend and my grandson.

The first week of summer was hot and humid where I live, which makes today a welcomed relief--lower humidity, a nice northwest breeze, and cooler temps. Perfect golfing weather...and there is one of my highlights of any summer...perfect golfing weather.

Taking the dogs for a walk without bundling up,watching the birds at the feeders in their spring colors,digging up wild flowers from our woods and planting them in my garden,and sitting on the front porch and watching the farm crops grow in the bottoms.(Last year it was a lake so the green is precious and beautiful.)

A rafting trip on the Grande Ronde River in Oregon where we saw a Mother Moose with a brand new calf. What a thrill as this was the first moose I have ever seen in Oregon. There have been a few migrate to Eastern Oregon from Idaho, and I was lucky enough to see a mom and baby.

In the few days since summer officially started, I'm happy to have started picking and eating raspberries and gooseberries from my berry patch, spinach, kale, mustard greens, collards, and cardoon from my vegetable beds, and watercress from my ponds. Will be interested to see how the quinoa fares. It's fun to fill in the gaps from the local farmers' markets, too.
