I almost forgot!

Jumps for joy!

Today is officially this blogs bloganniversary! The first post registered here was on this day two years ago. I never thought I’d make it past a few weeks let alone two years!
Yay for me! The posts sometimes lack interest I know, but the future is here and I’m still at it.

Summer is back!

It went away for a few weeks. Isn’t it funny how our memory is short? For the last few weeks or so it’s been abnormally cool for this time of the year but I can’t remember how long since the temperatures were seasonal. All I know is that the forecast is for sun and heat [...]
