It's finally summer - enjoy. Sit outside and stitch, garden, read, play
with your kids and grandkids, visit family and friends, have a BBQ,
laugh, love and smile.

Indeed it is Summer albeit not blazing sunshine. Sunrise today was 3:59
am, sunset will be 10:29 pm. Living at 59 degrees North sometimes gives
one an advantage.

Basically same latitude as Marg, so basically same sunrise/sunset, but
we beat you by a mile on the temp ... currently 100F/38C, and may go
higher before the official number is released in about 2 hours.

Isn't it interesting. Most people would say that Ontario is waaaaaaay
farther north than California (and indeed considering that we go as far
north as 56 degrees, much of it is), but the most southerly point in
Ontario (and in fact Canada) is Pelee Island which is at 41 degrees
north, the same as northern California.

Doncha just love useless trivia?

I don't enjoy summer -- haven't since I went through mental-pause.
Best thing I can say for summer is that it will soon be autumn and
starting to cool off again -- LOLOL! I will have to say that it's been
a lovely, mild spring and early summer for Magnoliaville, especially
compared to the last two years. I'm hoping that once DH retires and we
are back to the AZ high country where the summers are usually quite
nice, I'll be able to enjoy ALL the seasons again! CiaoMeow ^;;^

aaah, that's where our frost went---it dripped down to the bottom of the
globe! It is finally a lovely early summer here on the Canadian prairie,
and actually green, since we have had more rain than usual (it doesn't
last---this land is not meant to be lawn country!). I have driven home from
the work last few night with the top down on the convertible enjoying the
full moon.
