Subject: rain , rain and more raim

Over half of our summer days have been rainy,wish we could send it to the parts of Australia that need it. One plus is that everything is so lush and green,tomatoes growing like weeds,flowers are brilliant.Was invited out to two dinners this week,one tomorrow with 5 sisters in law ,it will be at a converted 100 yr old building that once was a school,kept as near to the school theme as possible and also be a tea room.The have wonderful chowders,soups,sweets and different types of breads. Mondays menu at a friends was tuna melt and peach cobbler with ice cream,beautifully fine that day so we ate on her
lovely patio.
Today we had hodge podge at home, green and yellow bean pods with sugar pea pods,carrots,onion and potato, all cooked in one pot, then drained and covered with cream and butter...oh so good but bad for the cholesterol and waistline. I was good,didn't eat any goodies after that.
Phyllis I bet you have been getting about as much rain as we have. If this were winter we would be buried in snow.
Oh Ellie, the glories of spring facing you, wish I were rich so I could travel and share in spring in Australia.
The more I see on tv about Australia, the more I want to see.What an interesting country.
Well ladies , all the best 'tl next time.

Hi Tina & Ellie,

Tina, the food sounds wonderful and wish I was nearby so I could enjoy your company. However, I am not a great traveler.

We are now getting beautiful sunny weather finally. Yes, Tina we had rain most every day but it forecast is for warmer days with no rain.

I can't believe we are already into the end of August. Where did this summer go? Perhaps we will have Indian Summer in the fall. I expect my oil company technician today as I am on their schedule to get both my furnaces cleaned and check up. I hope they don't find anything wrong with them. They are very old furnaces, one I have to add water to during the winter months.

I have been enjoying Ashley and just received photos of her first professional pictures. I will have to buy some more frames and find additional wall space to display them.
My hutch is full of pictures.

Michael just stopped by for coffee,so I will sign off.

Wishing you a good week.

Phyllis
