Yes...it is. It’s Friday....and really rather hot and humid here on the East Coast. Yes - summertime is here = high temps, high humidity... sometimes late afternoon thundershowers. Weekend is going to be right around 95-100..so yucky. But the good thing is that our Sully is enjoying the natural heat and mud puddle i just created. Lots of grass to munch on as well.

We were out crabbing early this morning.....quiet waters, picturesque water village on the Chesapeake, but no crabs today for us.

Fig trees are enjoying the heat as are the tomstoes, peppers, acorn squash. The only thingthst has disappointed us this year was our persimmon tree. Last year we were lucky to pick about two dozen scrumptious persimmons, but this year there is only ONE. We had about 15 inches of rain this Spring....i think this caused them to drop.

Tomorrow is a 14 mile circumnavigation around Wye Island, over on Marylands Eastern shore. Should be hot and fun too. Pix to follow.

Since it is so hot are you going to make crab salad? We are cold on this side and it has been raining for most of the day. Rain for tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. Yayyy

Good evening all. It's mid tennis season here so I am avraid I am somewhat distracted by watching. Tomorrow we are going to Eastbourne on the South Coast of England to watch the tournament there and next week we are going to Wimbledon as JoesDad secured tickets this evening :)

Good afternoon all hope everyone had a great day. I been in classes all day getting certifications for the new job.

So I seen someone post earlier that the UK was getting a heat wave and temps were up to 29c, if I'm not mistaken that's like 84f, is that really hot to y'all over there? That's like a cool summer day here in GA. Today was 94f with 90% humidity

All the Brits in the “heat wave” are passed out from heat exhaustion... :)

Hmm what's a yummy type of cereal other than frosted flakes?
I'm making hubby stop at the store on his way home to pick up a few things... I need more cereal but don't know what kind I want[emoji28] . Woe the hard decision we are forced to make!
