Snow in summer

Something about figuring out hours in the car, made me want to know more - so I figured out that we put over 2,300 miles on my car and went through 11 states (some multiple times).  It sounds a lot more daunting than it was, although we were quite glad to be home.  When we did arrive home it was to an hour long downpour, when I looked on the map to see how much longer the rain might last, I discovered there was one little area of green in all of New England and it was directly over Jamestown.  When I visited Uganda years ago, it rained on our arrival and the folks there said it was an auspicious sign, since it was the dry season at the time and any rain was welcome.

Since we've been home, we have tried to keep doing interesting things.  Harry had 2 more day long camps to attend.  Both were at a local farm, one was about bugs and one was a woodland adventure.  One of those days he brought back a cat o nine tail.  I said to him, we'd better put that outside, it will be messy when it opens up and then foolishly put it on the breakfront.  Yesterday it opened up and I quickly raced it outside.  Here's a picture of Harry, helping spread the seeds :-)

We had a little "snow" in our backyard on a sunny summer day.

Robert was napping at the time and when he came down after nap, it was still pretty white, but he was unusually hesitant about checking out what it was or where it had come from.  We had so much fuzz on the screen to the deck, that I took the hairdryer and blew it back into the yard.
