I love it that




...the sky cleared this afternoon (after weeks of rain) enough for us to dash to White Pond, our favorite swimming spot. It was a nice respite, considering we have rain forecast for the rest of the week. Boo, hiss.

I love the pictures of the kids-so cute in their bathing suits. What's up with the crazy, stormy weather everywhere? Geesh.

I know I shouldn't whine...
but what IS with all the rain this year?

Great shots of everyone. Love it.

That Miss L is looking a wee-bit too grown up for my tastes. Will you tell her to slow down?

Sorry about the rain, friend. We've been in a heat wave here, but after seeing all your rain, I won't complain.

Hi Annie
Glad you were able to enjoy White Pond for a few hours. It looks a lovely spot. Great pictures.
Sorry you are having bad weather! I think we have your weather here as it's unusually warm and dry!
Hope summer arrives for you soon.
Best Wishes
Lindsay
