It's in the air.....

Yes, the summer is coming to a close. It was as though it 'never was.' The heat was unbearable!
 Our pool furniture took flight during a wind storm & a 6 foot table of smoked glass landed in the  deep end of our pool causing us to close it for 3 weeks in order to replace the liner!

  Then the hurricane hit!...closed the pool so we wouldn't have to clean up the mess or damage the new liner that was just installed.  Then we reopened it, why?... Not sure? Now we will be closing it this weekend....Yep...'The summer that never was." Not one single pool barbecue was had....not one! Not one Marshmallow was picked either! (...for those of you who know the story!)

   So, here we are at the end of the season. Holding on for dear life to the small bit of warm sunshine that comes our way. The garden is quickly going to sleep, with only hints of color to view. 

  Soon, we will make our seasonally move to our downstairs family room to be cozy and warm by the wood burning fireplace." Our winter cave."

But don't be fooled... My hubby Tom has not watched that huge 60" big screen TV I bought for his birthday last October since April!

 It will be like his birthday all over again! Which is right around the corner.

Yet, I still wish we could have a replay of summer, have more evenings with the fireplace lit,
enjoying music by the moon.

 More fun days, shared with family and friends. missed those this year.

It has been awhile!

 Wow, I haven't posted in a long , long time! I am not even sure if I have the time
to start this up again?
The picture of the clouds above were after a stormy late afternoon yesterday here in Connecticut.
I have never seen any clouds like these before, so of course I was clicking away on my camera!
 They are known as Mamma clouds~ Very, Very cool looking!

Mamma Clouds- Also called mammatus, these clouds appear as hanging, rounded protuberances or pouches on the under-surface of a cloud. With thunderstorms, mammatus are seen on the underside of the anvil. These clouds do not produce tornadoes, funnels, hail, or any other type of severe weather, although they often accompany severe thunderstorms.
And here is a video of the Pups swimming and enjoying a Saturday afternoon to the Max!
