New England Weather

I love it. I love Maine's crazy weather.
This morning I woke up and got dressed for work and I was absolutely boiling. I mean, it felt like it was mid-80s. Which is wasn't, it was 70, but it felt so much hotter.
I got to work at 11. Soon it had cooled off nicely, I mean just a perfect temperature.
And then it got dark. And windy. And there was lots of thunder and lightening, but no rain.
And Deborah, my co-worker was standing on the porch, holding her hands out because it looked like it should be raining, and all of a sudden... the sky just opened up.
I mean, it didn't start sprinkling and then get harder quickly, it started pouring immediately.
So, I stood at the window and watched. And then, hail. Tiny little pieces of hail. And more rain.
And then, it stopped, and the sun came out, and the birds were singing and it was warm and smelled good and it was just perfect.

So, let's review:
Hot
Cool
Windy
Lightening
Thunder
Rain
Hail
Sunny

Fantastic : )

7 Years

Today is the 7th anniversary of when I moved to Boothbay

and my father's birthday.
Coincidence? I think not.


Moving to Maine was his present. But I guess its worked out for the best.

Things that Make me Smile

Coffee. Here. With you.

Two concerts on the horizon.
One in Boothbay :-D
(Look! You can see me in this picture!)

My coat, my gun, general sweetness on the Bounty.


Also:
Days off
Visits from friends
Sitting at Ocean Point
Lunch by the footbridge
Phone calls
and of course,
Dancing in the rain.

Update

How go the summer goals?

No channel surfing. If the tv's on, I know what I'm watching.

Success. My only show is basically Pirate Master, which, while trashy, I feel obligated to watch

Create at least one piece of art worth framing

Begun, hopefully it will actually be worth framing.

Get to the beach at least one time

Er... who would want to go to the beach in this weather?

Read a minimum of three books

Began book numero one and if things stay this slow at the store, I'll have lots o' reading time.

Exercise. I mean it.

Crunches anyone?

Keep in touch with the people I keep complaining are too far away

I am the queen of phone calls.

Make an effort to see the people who aren't as far away but I take for granted

I do what I can but people really need to answer their phones.
