Wednesday Sunshine

Another hot sunny day here in Maine. It's been beautiful for the tourists and locals on vacation but we sure do need some rain. I have been watering my gardens constantly, sure hate to see the water bill for this quarter. Hate worse to lose my flowers due to no rain so watering is my main job each day. The raspberries are doing great even in the dry conditions this year. It's the best crop I have had since putting in the plants a few years ago. I like to just stand right there and pick them and eat them right off the bushes. Had to teach the grand kids how to pick them only when they come off the plant easily or they will be sour.

Not much excitement around here compared to last week but I will take it. No more fires in our area but things are awfully dry so it's always a concern. To think that 90% of fires are started by people rather then lightening. Sad commentary for people to be so careless.

Went to T's riding lesson this morning. She was disappointed as she was back on the pony this week. No particular reason, the instructor likes to switch them around. She's in with two older girls that canter and do patterns but she still does them at a trot. She looked so tiny in with the bigger horses.

D was with us so I brought along a new coloring book and crayons to keep him busy during the lesson. It got too hot so he sat in the car and watched a movie with the air conditioning on. DILand I took turns watching him as the car was running.



T's been riding her pony here more and having fun with him. He is such a ham and will do anything. He also likes to share her Popsicles! Hubby was cutting the limbs on the pine trees a little higher so that Kip couldn't take her under one and knock her off. The gray house is FIL's, we love having him so close by!

It looks like Kipper is saying that he thinks she is on backwards!

I used to do this by the hour when I was a kid. Just lay on the back of our horses and daydream.

All done for the day. :o)



This is Nick, he is just hanging out which is what he does most of the time. Half his mane goes one way and the other half goes the other way. He is unemployed, he needs a job! Will work for food.

Now that it's summer we are going to the early service on Sundays. We decided to go for brunch at a lovely Inn about ten miles from here. Funsize and one of my other nieces A. went with us along with FIL. It's a wonderful inn with a to die for setting over looking the lake.

The brunch was delicious and we will be going back again soon!
