Ah, please don’t be sorry. Most of us drop by at odd times when we can. I’ll bet the lilac smells wonderful. Most of the ones around here are pink, so I didn’t recognize it.
We finally dropped out of the 90s and are going to spend the week in the mid to lo 80s (and maybe even the 70s on Tuesday). Yay! I hope the rainy folks are getting a similar change.
Pretty lilacs, WW. I do believe they are my favorite flower. Memories of my grandmother and also bringing in armloads of them for the May Altar at church. Way back when. They smell divine.
Just over a week. We’re pining…
curly will come in late July.
How is your morning? Finally a beautiful one here – blue skies and high 60s at the moment.
Best part here is the cooler temps which I’ve just come back from enjoying.
Now I’ve got to head off the library because I need to download two honking huge files and they’ve got a lovely underused T1 line and — even lovelier — they have wired connections to it.
The county building where I work used to share part of the library’s bandwidth – that is, until a former county employee managed to overload the whole thing downloading movies one weekend. An ugly business, that was. Poor Yvonne, the head librarian, was just beside herself with worry.
Hmmm, maybe he’s back. Everything was zipping along from about 10:30 to about 11:00 and then from about 11:00-11:45 the speed went to crap and then it zoomed right back up and stayed there.
I’d say it was all the county employees downloading YouTube clips at lunchtime, but the county was banned from the T-1 as soon as they could get DSL hooked up. Speaking of which, some of my page loads have really been slow tonight.
Yep. Today is the Southern hemispheres equivalent of January 1st (Happy New Year!).
Having lived most of my life in the Northern hemisphere I frequently feel a bit lost when trying to equate months with Seasons. So I just ignore the calendar.
I do miss having Christmas/New years/etc as mid-winter celebrations.

What’s everyone up to this weekend?
Morning CG! Are/did you get the rain we’ve gotten today?
It’s looking ominous here, and I think we’ll have storms later, but so far, no rain. It’s been neverending this year, hasn’t it?
Good luck with your show this weekend!
It rained twice here today, the second wave being a huge and violent thunderstorm.
Thanks!
We had a 5-minute blast of thunder/lightning/rain tonight, and then it was gone.
Good morning Cabin & boran2. Isn’t it great that Friday morning now officially begins the weekend?
I’ll go with Friday morning as the official start to the weekend. 🙂
Great Smoky Mountains National Park vacation photos are up, but you can’t have the fun or the pain.
Thanks for album, Jim!
Hope the blisters healed quickly.
This is getting a little bit comical ..

ouch. But just think how late into the summer you caould go kayaking (that’s what I tell myself every time it rains).
Did you get that big thunderstorm this afternoon?
Lately we get ’em every afternoon. Sometimes with hail.
We haven’t had rain in a while. A downpour last week, but mostly just hot and sunny.
We had a shower the other day but otherwise no rain all week. Just really hot and REALLY humid.
I’d take some rain right about now if it brought cooler weather.
Well at least you don’t have to wonder what the weather is going to be like. 🙁
Good morning everybody! That’s a lovely cluster of blooms up top, WW! What is it?
Sorry for the late reply, ID. Those are lilac blossoms from a very old bush (now a tree) here on the farm.
Ah, please don’t be sorry. Most of us drop by at odd times when we can. I’ll bet the lilac smells wonderful. Most of the ones around here are pink, so I didn’t recognize it.
We finally dropped out of the 90s and are going to spend the week in the mid to lo 80s (and maybe even the 70s on Tuesday). Yay! I hope the rainy folks are getting a similar change.
The morning sky here is ominously blue. There’s a light in it.
The robins are cackling, however.
Pretty lilacs, WW. I do believe they are my favorite flower. Memories of my grandmother and also bringing in armloads of them for the May Altar at church. Way back when. They smell divine.
Yes, they do! It’s wonderful when you don’t expect it & their scent envelopes you in the breeze. A magical moment, many times daily.
That’s envelops, not envelopes.
Oh, you meant temperatures, not decades. No one should ever have to spend a week in the 80’s again (although Tuesday in the 70’s might have been fun).
I don’t think I’d want to live the 70s again. Oh, the angst…
Wait, weren’t you too young to care about the angst of the 70s?
I could do the 70-72 but I’d just as soon skip the rest.
I was in high school in the mid 70s. Angst High, as I recall.
Me either.
Ah well, I hear there’s another one coming up in just a few days. 🙂

Good morning!
Or, pining for the fjords?
A little cheer-up for a Monday morning…
That is perfect for this morning!
When are you off for your vacation? That’s coming up soon, isn’t it?
Just over a week. We’re pining…
curly will come in late July.
How is your morning? Finally a beautiful one here – blue skies and high 60s at the moment.
We’ve had a few nice days in a row. Today is looking spectacular so far, nice and cool and sunny. I hope it lasts all week.
Say hi to curly for me. I should post pictures of my last couple of knitting projects… 🙂
Maybe it’s time for a knitting diary…
I think she has a few new projects as well!
Great choice.
And glad to see you won’t be pining for Norway for very long. Of course, then I’ll start pining for pictures. 🙂
And it’s a slightly longer one. 🙂
Best part is that I’ll have no school assignments due this weekend.
Best part here is the cooler temps which I’ve just come back from enjoying.
Now I’ve got to head off the library because I need to download two honking huge files and they’ve got a lovely underused T1 line and — even lovelier — they have wired connections to it.
See ya.

Drive by hi!
Drive by bye!
We have gale force winds (fairly common at our place) and probably some snow with the next bit of precipitation.
Brrrrrrrrr.
Don’t any of you get blown away!
Sorry about the brrrrrr and the white stuff. Maybe there will be enough for Lily/Lilly to build a snow fort and throw snow balls at Hector.
Wow. It feels odd to think you’re having winter weather today.
Stay warm and don’t blow away!
Yep. Today is the Southern hemispheres equivalent of January 1st (Happy New Year!).
Having lived most of my life in the Northern hemisphere I frequently feel a bit lost when trying to equate months with Seasons. So I just ignore the calendar.

At home today, It’s nice now but more rain is coming. Have a good day all.
with a little light for those folks who are stuck in the endless rain.

Beuatiful shot, Andi…I’m oing to use it for a new cafe when I get back from the gym in about an hour. 🙂
Ah, the enchanted forest, with all its summer steaminess. Its lovely.
Thanks ID but isn’t it great that the steaminess has gone. I’m loving these cool days.
Yes! Its delicious and I’m reminded, “What is so rare as a day in June?” (and now July too)!
Morning ID.
And I just looked at the long range forecast and while we are going to lose the 70s, it’s going to stay in the low 80s so that’s still pretty good.
Good afternoon froggies. Thankfully I will get some desk time today.
