WE STARTED OUT COOL THIS MORNING THEN ENDED UP BACK IN THE WEATHER’S HEAT FURNACE AGAIN:((

How nice it was first thing this morning to finally step out into refreshingly cooler air.  Felt like leaping into the air and doing a double back flip.  No I've never done a double back flip before but by golly I almost felt good enough about the change in temperature to give it a try.  Of course that nice cool morning air didn’t last too long:((

Earlier today with Pheebs watching out the living room window Kelly and I drove over to the Bayfield Berry Farm nearby where we met good friends and neighbors Gayle and Richard for breakfast.  We were the only ones there and it was nice and quiet until some younger families came in with screechy kids and you know how that can be like fingernails on a chalkboard for some of us Seniors so we had to eat up, pay up, and get the heck out of there retreating back to Gayle and Richards for coffee and peace of mind.

Unfortunately our day once again quickly heated up driving us inside to escape the miserable high humidity.  I slipped out just long enough to take a few photos of our front yard frog pond and that was it for my outside activities.  Not a long post tonight and I think I'll just wrap it up by simply saying, thanks for all your continuing support folks.  Much appreciated by Kelly, Pheebs, and I here at The Bayfield Bunch:))

GROANER'S CORNER:((  The skydiving instructor was going through the question and answer period with his new students when one of them asked the usual question always asked: "If our chute doesn't open; and the reserve doesn't open, how long would we have till we hit the ground?"  The jump master looked at him and in perfect deadpan answered: "The rest of your life."

A young couple drove several miles down a country road, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules and pigs, the husband sarcastically asked, "Are they relatives of yours?"  "Yes," his wife replied. "I married into the family."

  6. Another great series of photos, especially liked the frog. Hoping the weather cools down for you. We are to get higher temperatures on the weekend - guess that's why they call it summer.

  7. Yes. The older I get, the more I want to avoid noisy children. We were at 102 today. No relief when the nightly low is 80! If only we could flip the weather to October. In TX that would be good!

  8. Anchorage set a new heat record today 80 degrees F, which broke last record of 79 Degrees set back in 1979. It made it up to 78 degrees at our house. Nice dry heat felt great. I feel the same about kids in restaurants sometimes.

  9. Hard to believe the heat and humidity has moved into your area so close to the water. I feel the same away about the humidity. I think I'd rather go with Zippy's dry heat temps.

  10. Absolutely agree with Britbabe ! Those first two photos are VERY reminiscent of a Monet painting. I knew I recognized the style but couldn't think of the artist. Colorful little goldfish too. 🌷🐸🐦

  11. What a beautiful green, watery oasis you’ve created. A trusted habitat for birds, frogs, squirrels. Serene, cool, peaceful settings captured in many of your photo. You are a plein air painter...with a camera. The roadside pictures yesterday another example. A cathedral of trees shielding the road from the sun.
