I live about 60 mi north of Seattle and can't believe July is half over and we are still having cool, wet, early spring weather. Our plants and trees love it and our woods are lush and green but I'm depressed over it!! When the calendar says "summer" I want summer!!

Boy, we haven't had summer at all! We had a rare thunder storm last night, and even had some hail. And I heard that Crystal skiing has continued through this weekend. That broke a record for a ski season! Hey, we usually get only 2 months of summer, but this is mid of July, and haven't had a sunny day to do sun printing outside yet!

I am guilty of thoroughly enjoying the rain, at least this year. In the past I would have been groaning right along with you. Hang in there!

I am so sorry, but I will share with all of you. Wisconsin has had some picture perfect days this June and July mid 70's and low 80's. We have had some storms here and there and hot spells here and there and this week it is going to be bad hot humid. I will talk to the big guy upstairs to send you what you need and to allow you to have some summer!!!!! And Rain down south!!!! hahaha

I said I wouldn't complain after having a bad winter but this is rediculous No sun,rain,heat and more heat. I have weeds everywhere and can't get to them the temps are so high so early in the morning and till dark. My daughter is begging me to send her rain because they haven't had any more over a month and real high temps.

Interesting responses! Thanks. I feel better so I guess I needed to vent...............we always want what we don't have and need reminders that there is a masterplan somewhere. So I will sew on!LOL
