It's a Soggy Summer!

I thought the rain was almost over but of course yesterday I'm coming out of a grocery store with bags in my arms and the rain starts up again. It's as if the faucet was suddenly turned on in the city and then turned off. When I got home I noticed my neighbours older tree in their front yard had been hit by lightening and literally split down the middle. It's great firewood for the winter. But who wants to think about another season when we haven't really seen much in the way of summer so far. I actually finally realized why my flower gardens look so good and I'd like to thank Mother Nature for that.  I've been handling the show solo this week but next week Matt will take over the reins for a week. My hubby and I are planning a trip to New York City and I gotta say I'm very excited!!
