A Stretch Of Good Weather And Cupcake Brownies

We actually did the unthinkable this morning; we hauled out the sprinklers.

After the rainest beginning of the summer ever, the Weather Gods have made it up to us in August by giving us loads of sunny days that aren't too hot, which is making us happy but leaving the plants in need of some hydration. The lilies probably have no idea what to think of this crazy weather pattern!

This afternoon, our snack is the cutest little cupcake brownies you've ever seen or tasted. I actually caught myself licking the wrapper when I knew no one was looking. Mmmm....

Hope your day is equally enjoyable!

And Then There Was Sun

For almost 20 days, Maine has been pelted by rain, obscured by fog, and otherwise a sad place to be.

Yesterday and today, the sun made brief appearances and made everyone noticeably happier.

"The forecast was completely wrong!" one of the guests said.

The atmosphere is a chaotic place and weather can only be determined 24-48 hours in advance. Plus Maine has odd weather anyway.

So you might as well be optimistic about it all and wear a few layers, just in case.

And while the sun is out, sit on a porch and take it in. After all this rain, we all certainly deserve it!
