I live in NW Washington state where summer usually starts near the end of July. I just looked at the forecast for the next 10 days. Instead of rain, we are to have temperatures of 79-84. What a pleasure that will be for some of us. There will be the usual people who will be complaining about the heat, but I intend to really enjoy the weather

I watched as these fellows really enjoyed the pond this morning. I think they are washing their own fiber. They have not been clipped, so they will probably be either in the shade or the water this coming week.

I finished the ice cream cones this afternoon and the slices of pie are next.
