That it has been. After a period of a few days with mild conditions we entered an extended period after a previous warm up. It was nice outdoor working weather, the lawn was about as green as it would get and sunny skies. Then the temperature started to climb and the humidity with it, could get some work done but as the days went by it became harder to deal with as the lawn turned brown and only the weeds and bugs were thriving. Have managed to keep a good variety of birds happy.
In spite of the COVID-19 situation our state began allowing campgrounds among other businesses to open so Carol and I made a long weekend of it and took up residence at a CG in Skowhegan, Maine. We had not been there before.
Last weekend Ian and Ali with the grand-dogs had come up from New Hampshire for Father's day. Caught up with each other while enjoying some summer beverages followed by a few rounds of corn hole, I need to up my game. Finished up with burgers from the grill, corn on the cob and other fixings. All too short of time to spend together. We haven't seen them since Christmas, had we only known what was to come. At this time they and the dogs have begun a two week hike on a portion of the Appalachian Trail. Hope they get some good weather.
