Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

Whew! Too Hot Already

Today is the first day of Summer. It is here with a vengeance. We are having a heat wave already. I find myself humming this song by Marilyn Munroe. It does not make it feel any cooler.

According to David Phillips, Canada's foremost climatologist, this is just the beginning.

I am already dreaming of cool autumn days.

Funny Encouragement Ecard: When the weather's hot and sticky, that's no time to dunk the dicky... but when then frost is on the pumpkin, that's the time for dicky dunkin.

Maybe I need to go sit in the river up to my neck and cool off.

Sitting in the river sounds good!

Wet washcloth, a constant companion to me. The heat is a misery lately. Yet let's not forget those bitter cold days when we wait impatiently (me) for those lazy, hazy days of summer.
