Signage

Seen on the mailbox of a house on a houselot in Antrim "1/2 Fast Farm". Heh.

Missed the Mark

So we didn't make the 3-digit numbers for a temperature yesterday (gee, I'm so disappointed - NOT).

Yesterday’s 94-degree high in Concord missed the day’s record of 99 set back in 1870, but it was the warmest day since June 27, 2003, when the mercury read 95. (from today's edition of the Union Leader)

The humidity didn't get nearly as high as expected either - at about 41%, which made it more comfortable than a couple of weeks ago when the temps were in the 80's.

We did however, take it pretty easy; WS washed his truck and the recycle barrels and I reconciled the checkbook (on the computer downstairs where it is coolest) and watered plants. A real tough day!

About 5 we headed over to the lake with the raft - letting our hands and feet dangle over into the cool water as we floated along. The water is still a bit on the cold side for swimming, but we did dunk in a couple of times when we pulled back in toward shore.

I'll be re-potting a few plants today, but we'll probably lay low again today as it is supposed to be about as hot as it was yesterday, and probably more humid. We'll see.

Thumbs Down

Last night this blog got trackbacks for "free n*de thumbnails". Thanks for the offer but my thumbnails are already nude (as are indeeed, all my fingernails and toenails). Just what in the heck would I do with someone else's thumbnails anyway?

Statistics

An interesting little survey. Any bloggers might want to help out on it. I found it interesting that there seem to be more female bloggers than male bloggers (after getting an access code and filling out the survey, you can look at the preliminary results).

I wonder if I can now say I went to MIT?

Found thru Billy.

Ugh!

We'll be laying low today as it is supposed to be 100. We finally got a couple of days in the 70's and now with no gradual incline, we are rushing for the 3-digit numbers. Oh yeah, the humidity, which has been low the last couple of days is supposed to go thru the roof.

I don't remember the last time NH actually got to 100 - but I am positive it wasn't this early in the season. I suspect that this will be a record-breaking day if the weather guessers are even close to right this time.

Maybe we'll take the raft out to the lake and stay cool there.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

Welcome to CK (Wichi Dude and Dudette's Crazy Kid) to your weird aunts blog. I almost had a heart attack when I saw her monicker on the Shorts post. Then I noticed that she had commented on WD's blog too.

Does this mean that she has been lurking all these years or does it mean that it was a really slow night so she had nothing beter to do? Either way, I was glad to hear from her!

Shorts

We had a bear visit the other morning. He ripped apart one of the suet feeders - the new one of course. It was shortly after I had left for work, but WS was still here and claims to have taken pictures. We'll see at some point in time. Guess the birds will have to fend for themselves until fall.

the creeping thyme, planted in the walkway below the fence, has commenced to blooming. It has great timing (no pun inteneded). The phlox that is planted below the walkway has quit blooming, so the thyme's blooms are a welcome splash of color there.

A question for Wichi Dude and Dudette: Did you ever find those pecans?

That's it for now.

Skittles

Read on a forum, "I got so chubby over the winter that if I sat on a rainbow Skittles would pop out."

Got an instant visual and chuckle!

16 Days

It's been 16 days. All is well so far. Shhhh! Don't ask or you'll wake the demons!*

*This is not suposed to make sense to anyone but me - don't worry about it.

Wishes

Happy Father's Day

to (of course) my Father!
