One day cold and rainy, the next hot an muggy, no consistency .

Apparently my satellite can only pick up all pictures in perfect weather. I'm sure there is much worse to complain about, and, again, something to look forward to !

Bethany beautiful summer weather now
What about over there?

Actually, wildflower, the sun appeared and, things have become quite

lush around the old homestead

Kayaks in a Sea of Grass beside an old tractor implement.

Some light in the front yard

Usually our summers are much drier, so we are enjoying the Beauty of it all .

Thank you for asking, wildflower, glad to hear your weather is improving too !

Beautiful pictures, Bethany!
Do you use kayak in the grass? Where's the water?

Thanks, wildflower !

As soon as it warms up a bit more, I'll paddle over to the lakes !

Absolutely lovely, Bethany!

Thank you, Gabriele.

If an occasion arises and you are in the States, all are invited to camp out ! Hopefully, not during the winter , we do have a fire going inside, however .

Oh, and a ski resort nearby, although, no mountains, just hills !

I like hills better than mountains.

Great News, Gabriele !

I'll take that as a confirmation .

If Barry and Robin ever decide to give a concert over there ...

I'll be ready to accommodate them as well !?!

We have a lot of room and privacy too .

Bethany! Is that you?

I think so

Yikes Accommodations can be lodgings !

We Are Having A Heatwave In New Jersey!

Here the temperature dropped after a thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon. We have agreeable summer weather now.

wildflower, the kayaks made it to the lake, but no internet , now I am back and must catch up !

Happy to hear your weather is improving, Gabriele , hoping that yous is as well, Kirsten !

Great tree trunk in motion , wildflower!

Very wise, Wildflower, you should stick to this habit! Amazing discovery!

The lake looks cool and lovely, Bethany. Here the heat is back! The light breeze that is going sometimes feels like coming right out of the desert.

Very early yesterday morning when the air was still fresh ...

How I'd like to go into that lake! Or at least sit there somewhere.
Terribly warm coming soon, it is very warm even now.
How is it that you have problems with internet so often?

Gabe you get an Oregon false cedrus from the same walk in return.
I can't walk alone on the street now, but can in the forest.



Mother is back home from the hospital. Much pain still

Beautiful pictures from across the pond, Gabriele & wildflower !!

Sunset On The Lake

We are in a rather remote part of Michigan, wildflower, so, at the lake, there was dial up which we could not access !

Back home now, but so many visitors here in July , however, Ellen and I have found ourselves an evening alone , which we plan to spend with One Night Only , a pleasure we have not experienced in sometime.

Glad to hear your mother is home , my daughter is going through infusion , I know it isn't easy, wildflower .

Nothing is easy Bethany
I love your sunset photo very much
Get well wishes to your daughter!

Absolutely gorgeous pics, ladies!

Love & Hugs to all of you and your families!!! xoxoxo

Love & Hugs to you too, Lori , hope you are having a marvlous vacation !

The same best wishes for you Lori for your vacation!

Thank you for the picture, Wildflower! I love trees.
Best wishes to everybody!

And medieval ruins too, I think.
This dates back to the 13th century.

Some know how to live even when it's tropical hot !

Cooled down a bit for today morning, but it won't last long.
