The wind and rain have passed from the last few days. The pre-winter clouds are moving briskly by overhead. The boats here are either wrapped for winter or will be soon. Back home, I'm passing time getting the yard and garden set for spring; collecting and cleaning birdhouses, piling brush to burn this weekend, splitting and stacking some recently cut wood and bringing in the deck furniture. Of course, it's not something I'm excited about doing. Why? It's that final 'death knell' of another summer here in southern Maine.And this summer... my dentist recently asked me, "Ever remember a summer like this?"
"No." I replied.
"Know why?" He continued.
I took the bait.
"Why?" I said.
"Because, we've NEVER ever had a summer like this!" He laughed, grabbed his drill and went back to work.
Speaking of Spring and Summer, it is snowing in my area today. Supposedly it's a storm from Poland that is moving North.
ReplyDeleteI need to say I'm still trying to understand the weather here in Europe,because it's so different from my Brazil!
ReplyDeleteThis year here we got few days of sun, and now I'm worried about November because last year it was terrible for me, I really miss the sun and I was a little bit upset. I hope this time November can bring some days of beautiful sun to keep me positive and in a good mood! LOL
Okay...I will try be positive!
hugs
and a nice Tuesday

Do you know what makes me smile, Birdman? The fact that you're working up wood when this time last year you were waiting for heart surgery. You rock, dude.
ReplyDeleteI would be looking for a new dentist.
ReplyDeleteWinter came to Arizona last night too! Not nearly as wintery as you have, but winter none the less.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you give each pic a story.
ReplyDeleteI like the one piece of water where you can see the sky reflected. It's a wonderful water scene that makes me sort of wistful.
ReplyDeleteI was laughing until you mentioned the drill.
ReplyDeleteHi Birdman -- Great photo (love that puddle reflection in foreground) and your text is truly delightful - full of local sights sounds and lore..
ReplyDeleteThis is a neat photo - that puddle with the reflection is great!
ReplyDeleteI agree with T, that is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI think we're all going to need to be buttoned up for the winter pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteMy dentist is an old friend, but I don't listen much to his smalltalk when he is around me with his tools!
