Well, now it is Summer …

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Linda Schaub

… as of 6:07 a.m. today. I’m not sure whether to be ecstatic about Summer’s arrival because it seems that our two heat waves, first at Memorial Day, then this past Sunday and Monday, already placed us in quasi-Summer mode … Continue reading →

Today is his day … or maybe I should say “hiss” day.

Posted on June 17, 2018 by Linda Schaub

Well, I’m usually a Winter weenie, but I’ve never been a Spring-almost-on-the-cusp-of-Summer-weenie. I didn’t even poke my head outside the door today. It got to 95 degrees, with a heat index of 100 degrees.  It was already pretty steamy by … Continue reading →

Posted on June 16, 2018 by Linda Schaub

Again our weekend weather has been a disappointment as I continue to shake my head about this decidedly weird Spring we’ve had.  Yesterday, the weather folks called for rain and several thunderstorms beginning at dawn, then off and on throughout … Continue reading →

All this rain is a pain.

Posted on June 10, 2018 by Linda Schaub

  I could write reams about all the rain we’ve endured the past two months.  We’ve had rain nearly every weekend since mid-April.  That’s not counting the weekdays – there’s been plenty of rain then as well!  Even our Memorial … Continue reading →

A hole in one …

Meandering on a Saturday morn.

Posted on June 2, 2018 by Linda Schaub

I was up bright and early this morning.  It was too bad the sun did not follow the same schedule.  In fact, Ol’ Sol did not bother to shine until about 4:00 p.m. today. At least the oppressive heat is … Continue reading →
