End of Summer...Summer

We have had a great weather week...OK the past 2 1/2 days and probably tomorrow. No clouds or rain...lots of sun and even getting fairly warm (for us that is). Sunday that is all supposed to change again. I have been told by patients that this is the wettest summer on record and the worst in about 3 years. So at least it should be better next year.
One really nice benefit to the clear weather is that we can take advantage of being away from lot of light pollution and see billions of stars. You can easily see those cloudy white streaks of the Milky Way. There are so many stars it is hard to pick out constellations. The Big Dipper is on that is still easy to see though. Lori, the dog, and I went out this evening and found a bench and just sat for 30 minutes. While watching stars we saw what was probably either the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle go by.
We took advantage of the nice weather and finished painting the fence and the railing around the deck. Charles and Meg were a big help today especially. Lori also was out killing weeds.
