Some purdy sights...

Laundry well underway, and the clothesline getting its first use of 2013!

I LOVE summer weather, don't you!?!?!?!? And what a pretty picture of some freshly washed quilts! 

HUSH from those of you who have been in the heat of summer for a month+ already.  

For those of us in Wisconsin and other northern states, this is only about the 6th day of "nice" weather we've had since winter finally decided to leave us.

Another lovely sight:  the girls working together, watering the freshly planted potatoes.

And another lovely sight (at least for me) :p

Paul, assembling a shelter for our baby ducks, the latest adventure for the Skattebo hobby-farm.

LOOOOK at that sky!!!!

HAPPPPPPPY Saturday!

Dear Mama Nature...

I'm sorry about losing my temper the other day. I am no longer mad at you, so please consider lessening the severity of the storms coming our way that created this...

Sincerely,
Amy, who has accepted the fate of the corn, and who really doesn't like severe weather...


PS: Thank you for allowing the weather to be nice for most of the day so that DH and I could finish the deck and the stain had enough time to set before you gave us this rain.

Dear Mama-Nature...I don't like you today.

Thank you for the rain, but you could have kept the 60+MPH winds to yourself.

Sincerely,
A sad gardener who will miss her corn.

Hot enough?

I can't believe I forgot to post this pic yesterday!!!! Remember how I was saying that I went outside (around 1:00) to photograph Dizzy Plus and the temp didn't seem that bad ; maybe mid 80's. Well....around 3:00, when I FIRST planned to head out to the garden, I peeked at the temp....

Mind you, the sun was out, so this is "in the sun" temp....but STILL! I waited until it clouded over around 5:00 and then headed out.... a couple thunder-boomers sounding off in the distance, but didn't amount to much.

Right now (6:30 AM), the temp is showing 60 degrees, and after a quick google to weather underground, we are also at 94% humidity. Maybe it's a good thing I'll be in an AC car for much of the day.
