Here in Connecticut, we are in the middle of a severe drought. I mean severe. My front and back yards look like sandy deserts. Blowing the leaves is a study in developing my own sandstorms.

The weather has been up and down temperature-wise, but keeping busy with outside activities.

Hang in there north: PS, where are you in Canada? As a kid I spent my whole summer in Canada at Jack Lake, Apsley, Ontario. I continued to go up as an adult but had to give it up last summer due to health concerns. The only summers I missed are the summers after I was drafted.
