Schools Out for Summer, #537

I was born and raised in Ohio. There was always a certain "smell" about summer - the rain - the heat after a rain - the trees and on and on.

I was born and raised in Ohio. There was always a certain "smell" about summer - the rain - the heat after a rain - the trees and on and on.

The air was clear then......................

Every day I take the dog for a walk and I am still amazed - and hope it never gets old to me - at the smells here.

There is always someone cutting lawn (some lawns do have grass that have a blue shade to them) and the smell wafts over the area, even hours after they are cut.

We haven't had a good thunderstorm yet, I do love the sound and light show, but there is a definite smell before a shower.

And can't forget the winter months when a chimney smells like autumn/winter.

-----------------

Right after the twisters in Oklahoma a story about the weatherperson who told people to leave town and go in a certain direction aired. It caused problems because people listened, and when the storm took a turn in that direction it put everyone in danger.....

Doris turned to me right after the story ended and said, "Maybe they should send him to do weather in California, It never changes there?"

The sky is darkening here. Going to rain for sure. Getting tired of looking at the online job postings. How about a nice glass of unsweetened iced tea? Maybe Angel wants to play?

Let's hope it's not a deluge!

One glass of tea and a tennis ball for Angel.

CM,

Sit back and I'll pour!

DONE!

Yay - a picnic.

It's been cool this week but now the weekend is looking up. We have a saying here in the Pac-NW - summer starts on July 5th.

Richard - got any slushies?

I'll tie a couple more old socks to the "rope" and let you play tug with Angel - that'll give your arms some work after all the time spent at the keyboard working just your fingers!

And will join you in the tea, okay?

[Queen of Poop]

Tea and a sloppy wet sock - love it!!!

Hey,

Long time......always have slushies!

One? Done!

If Angel brings one that does have a foot in it, play along?

Refills?

gonna start a fire in the pit....time for popcorn and s'mores.

She's never present with just a sock, so doesn't associate those with tug toys. I just made her a "chew rope" by knotting together a bunch of socks that all had holes in the heels when they were here in Massachusetts for Memorial Day weekend, and sent them home with plenty of socks to renew it with, as she is half bulldog, so ropes don't last very long!
