It is 51 degrees outside right now and it was only in the mid 60’s today.  For heaven’s sake, it’s June!  Who stole the summer weather?  Where has the warm weather gone?  Global warming?  Not here.  It’s more like Global cooling.  This has to be the coolest, wettest June we’ve ever had.  Normally we are running our air conditioners at this time of year because it’s too hot for Dear Hubby without them.

     Our electric bill should be nice without the use of the AC.  But, gosh darn it I want to sit outside in the evening without the need for a light jacket or an umbrella.  I like summer.  I enjoy sitting out by the pond at night. 

     I was talking to one of my cousins the other night.  He says that they are (in Upper Western NY State) having mosquito problems this year.  He told me he just came into the house from the horse pasture and had to walk through clouds of over-sized bloodsuckers.  I must remember to pack my mosquito repellent when I go visit them.  And from the way it sounds, I’ll need the giant economy sized container. 

     You know you’re dating yourself when you can remember playing in the DDT spray when the mosquito sprayers came through.  Yeah, it’s a wonder that our generation survived.
