The Dog Days of Summer

The days of summer...  Hey!  Where are they?  We had rain on the first day of summer here in the Pacific Northwest, and there have hardly been any days of sun!  We had like, a week of sun this spring, ok, five days, and one or two a week since!  Whenever I get a day to lounge in the sun and get a bit of a bronze, the color fades before the next sunny day.  This El Nino thing is getting old. This is what my surroundings should look like a week before the Fourth of July...

...and this is how they actually appear...

Ahh well, s'mores are good in any kind of weather :)

And a hot tub with your loved one is that much more pleasurable when it's storming outside...
