Tuesday Tidbits #230 Welcome Rain!

Good Tuesday Friends!

It’s Raining!

We nearly broke the record of 30 days without rain. However, 24 days without rain were enough for me! With the window slightly open, I can hear the rain, and I can smell the rain, and then I like to watch the rain make droplets on the plants. Pure bliss!

Rain has a way of slowing me down. That’s a good thing, as I have been nonstop with the gardens, the house, and small projects. I’m doing absolutely nothing today except writing this blog post. I also smell the delicious homemade soup warming on the stove as I sit in our cozy sunroom having my tea.

School’s Out

The kids here in town had their last day of school this past Friday. Do you remember your last days of school when you were growing up? I couldn’t wait to spend all my Summer days at the lake! The lake had endless fun! Swimming, boating, skiing, fishing, and sunbathing. When we needed refreshments, we walked across the street to the Canoe Club. We could have lunch, milkshakes, and play pinball while we all “hung out” with our friends. We would return in the evening after we cooled our sunburned skin with Noxema. (I am sure that made some of you giggle.) In our best summer attire, we would dance to the jukebox songs and wait for the Hot Cars to show up out front. I always tell others I had a great childhood. I was never bored! It was a great place to grow up at.

The Canoe Club was torn down in the ’90s. Anyone who grew up on this lake, like myself, has fond memories of this old spot.

This Historical Marker replaces the Beloved Canoe Club.

I get nostalgic when we are back here in Pennsylvania. The memories come flooding back. Sweet recollections! I thank you for letting me do some musing.

A Walk by the Lake

My favorite tree at the lake!

More flowers are blooming. I spotted this yellow peony the other day! I have never seen a yellow peony before. Have you?

Siberian Iris
Cornflower Mountain Bluet or Bachelor Button?
I call these Wild roses but my plant app calls them Japanese Roses.
Milkweed
A Ladybug on Poison Hemlock.
Pretty Iris
These little pups had to see what I was doing when walking by.
Cute cottage!
Cottage or Lake House? New build overlooking the lake.
Purple Martins and their condos!
Alligators or Crocodiles?
One of the many street posts.

Our Garden Blooms

I call this Midnight at the Oasis.
Another lovely iris.

Boat is In

Boat headed for the water! Looking forward to many boat rides!

It was a great week here at the Lake. I am off to listen to the rain.
