Summer is Here





At last, after an unusually cold and wet spring summer is here. The weather this past weekend was beautiful. Low 70's, pleasant breezes, sunny. The kind of climate I would like year round. This week it is moving into the 80's, a little too warm for my tastes. I begin my days with a 5 to 6 mile walk early. I wait til about 6 p.m. or later to swim so I can avoid the melanoma causing sun rays. I love to swim, I should have been an otter.

Sunday I took a walk through Crosby Park, it was alive with dragon flies. I don't know what type of dragon fly is blue but they were everywhere. I need to get a dragon fly field guide (hint Emily,Alex, or Helen for Christmas or birthday).

I am typing with Galway on my shoulder. He is a very loving, but naughty, kitten. He loves to sit on my shoulder. At night he sleeps on my head. He has the same hair color I do. I think that is why he is bonded so much with me.

Congratulations to my grand daughter Katie. She just turned 4 and is riding a 2 wheeler bike BY HERSELF!!! No training wheels. That is pretty amazing for her age.

I cannot believe this is my first post for June!!! I will try to do better Arthie and Emily.
