Specifically I'm excited for Halloween. (I love seeing all the kids dressed up!!!!!) It's only July for cryin out loud!!!

I do, literally, look forward to it all year. It's a shame it's the shortest season... or it seems so, anyway. I love Halloween! And I don't even have kids to see dressed up! Tee hee.

Too bloody hot! That's why we moved up here from California -- to escape the heat. Plays havoc with my seratonin levels which in turns plays havoc with my IBS. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the fresh air and the falling leaves, cool days and brisk nights. It's so refreshing! And so relieving -- that the summer is OVER! Yaay. You're right -- it's gonna be a lonnnnnnnng summer. -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Not Weird at All       #86959 - 07/06/04 03:10 PM Edit Reply Quote RachelT Reged: 07/01/04 Posts: 2350 Loc: Minnesota Thank you.

They're my favorite! I miss them. You're so lucky to be surrounded by them. I collect loon decoys, and have a rather nice bunch of 'em, one of which was hand carved by a loon lover in Wisconsin; it cost me a fortune, but it's well worth it. I also have a magnificent huge poster of a loon taken at night over a lake; it's gonna be hung in a special spot at the top of the stairs in the new house. Do you live near/on a lake? Are there lots of loons that cry out over the lake at night? We have gorgeous Canadian geese up here, but nothing can replace my beloved loons.

Loons fly over my house every night. I love that sound. So calming. We live about 1 mile from a lake. Well, actually 2 lakes, their just connected. -------------------- ~ Rachel (IBS-C) If life hands you lemons, make lemonade!! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Bleh! I say!

I did. I about died when I downloaded it off my digital camera... I'm not a photographer by any means, it was a pretty darn lucky shot. That's a little spot in Somesville, on the other side of the island from Bar Harbor. I wish I lived down that way... it's so gorgeous down there!

What did I do to you to deserve this kind of treatment, Casey?! I showed this pic to hubby, crying, and he jumped all over me: "Oh yeah? What about the WINTERS in Maine, eh? And the humid summers? Not to mention the muddy fall?! What about them giant-size mosquitos, huh? And them blood suckers in the lake!" He shut me up pretty fast. Yeah, gorgeous pic. I have a lot of them too. I thought I'd have them blown up and framed for the new house -- but then why torture myself? Thanks for sharing -- I think.....

Hehe... thank you. The bummer is that I did upload the picture to a photo-printing site, and had a smallish (5x7) print made... and it looked awful! The print was crisp enough, but the colors were murky. I'd intended to tweak the original a little, to brighten it, and then try again, but darned if I can find it. I might just have to go back this fall and try again!

In Milwaukee (where the weather MUST be similar to what you're experiencing, Becky) there have been maybe four days where it's cracked 80 degrees and here we are in the first week of July already. @$#%^&%^&$#%*$ it, I want some real steamy summer weather (and so do my tomato and basil plants) !

I have two pair of sunglasses and darn if I couldn't find them, actually one of them was hooked in the front of my t-shirt and I didn't realize it until I got back into the truck to leave Wal-mart, what an idiot!! My oldest grandson was with me , we were in Lake Jackson, I swear, that sun was so bright that it felt like it was really burning my eyeballs. Do you ever get that feeling??? Yes, it sure was hot today, the ac in the truck just WOULD NOT cool us off!! Hope tomorrow is better !!

I have several pairs of sunglasses so I will always have one at hand. I can't stand to be without them in this sun. We did have a little shower yesterday afternoon here in the Clear Lake area and that helped. But, boy is it hot. Thank goodness for AC. We only have July, August, Sept. & Oct. to get through and then it will get better. he he. Think we will make it??
