Well the longest day has now come and past, makes me wonder if summer will still get here. Our cold and wet spring has made many farmers nervous. It seems that the cold cloudy weather is the only thing we Maritimers have been talking about. Driving through the corn fields last year at this time was drastically different then this year. Corn has not even sprouted on most fields. Last year it would have been two feet high. The highest temperature reached yesterday was a whopping 12 C degrees. (54F) today they are calling for colder and winds are still primarily from the north. We are still having fires in the evening to get rid of the damp chills. Last year we burnt just over 4 cord of wood this year we have burnt almost 6. We have the wood but it really takes a toll on my surplus supply that I cut and chop. But since I am not spending time on the gardens I guess I have the time to get a chopping.
Heather will be done teaching for summer next week so luckily we will have our camera home full time again. And of course we need to go to the Island as much as possible to have a little time away. We are big fans of the beach and the power and beauty it brings.
Hope this finds ya'll happy and healthy
Going to that island sounds like it would be a very peaceful place to be!
ReplyDeleteMuch happiness to you all!
We're having the exact opposite problem here--record breaking droughts and high temperatures. It's unbearable to be outside after noon. The weather gets more and more erratic all the time...I think that we'll all need some luck to survive this growing season!
