Joan,

This is just our third summer here and I am glad to hear that this weather is unusual. I was getting a bit worried. I have been working in the rain, doing some expansion work on our garden, and yesterday and today the cool rain kept the mosquitoes and blackflies more or less at bay. I have been using some repellent for the mosquitoes, which seem quite bold. We got some pole beans up during the brief warm period and now I am hesitant to plant more pole beans in this cold wet soil. It's good to know that next year may be better. Where is global warming when you need it? (grin)

I've lived here all but six of my 41 years and remember only one year that it was this miserable. Next week looks much better.

It was 92° Monday, 45° Wednesday. I don't know whether to build a fire or turn on the fan.

I have lit the wood stove this past two days,and am back to wearing my heavy sweat suits.My dog is disgusted too,he sits there by the fire waiting to see its flames in the morning.Regards Josie_2

Righe there with all of you. UUUGHHGHHG
I'm also trying to scrape and paint the house, what a joke.
That week that was nice, I think there was one. I opted for gardening ove house. figured if things did not get in the ground they cant grow. dont think they can grow undre water eather.
The grass is doing good. ya get a brake and cant plant cuse ya got to cut the grass or is it hay when so long ? could cut and give to the cows. LOL

now stop your whining~ except for me and my lost asparagus patch....Maybe I'll wine some and some more and then I'll feel better.

Hows your mosquito counts? I try to move faster than they can!

I went out mid June and put plastic slitted row covers on my tomatoes. Now they are actually a whole foot tall :(
Most everything else got Reemay put on them. Slugs and red ants are THRIVING, I even woke up at 3 AM due to being bitten by a red ant in bed!!! Time to give in to diazinon.
