Up until the past 5 years, I've always been a summer person...the hotter
the better. It never bothered me. Lately though, it's gotten much worse
(plus I've gotten older). It is so horrible in summers here now with
the high temps and humidity (and high dewpoints). Day after day after
day, I walk out to go to work and it feels like walking into a steamy
bathroom. So many days working outside here this summer, we would start
early then go home by lunchtime when the heat/humidity was so brutal.

You would think that living right next to the ocean would cool things
down but it doesn't. Hot summer days are always SW winds, blowing the
cool ocean air offshore and no relief here.

Supposed to be much nicer here this coming week.

I hate cold winter days too but at least you can dress for that.

Yes, the humidity is a killer, and I've always felt that I can add clothing
in the cold as you say, but nothing to do for the heat, especially in work
like yours. Geez, I would hate that.

I much prefer normal length snowy winters to long hot humid summers,
which is why I moved from Lung Guyland to upstate NY. LI has long
humid summers, and too buggy to be outdoors unless you sit in a
screened cage and constantly apply bug repellent. Here I enjoy the
true equally spaced four seasons. Today is perfect fall weather, full
sun, a blue sky with a few wispy white couds, and now it's 60ºF with a
slight breeze, gorgeous kite flying weather. Last night there was a
light steady rain for three hours, but I didn't mind as Thursday I had
planted about a sixth acre of grass seed where my rental cottage
stood. I'm hoping for some evening showers today too or I'll be out
there watering with my big hose.... takes me about two hours of
shuffling two sprinklers about. Seeds are lightly coverd with straw
to keep the birds off. I had the electric service moved to the rear
of the lean-to shed at the back of the garage and now the electric
cable from my pole is buried. The boiler and fuel tank were removed
so now I have a lot more room in there. There's a new self draining
pressured water tank and a hose bib. I have a ventless propane heater
in there too so I'm not using that chimney, but the electrician will
be here next week to install a large LED fixture near the top of the
chimney, the higher the fixture the further it throws light. Was
cloudy before the rain arrived:

I used to live on a very small island in the middle of the Mediterranean
sea. Darning the summers we were constantly wet. You would be wet getting
into the shower and still wet when you have 'dried off' after the shower.

winter, animals etc. You have a very nice home site.

Thank you. You're welcome to visit... very soon we'll have the most

I would love to see that. I don't suppose I'll ever get there at this point,
but I definitely enjoy your pics of the various seasons.

That's why I plant particular trees, mostly for the fall foliage. As
soon as the grass seed I planted starts to sprout I intend to plant a
mulberry tree there... the birds will love the berries and I will
enjoy watching the birds.
I bought a 91 acre lot in Knox, NY 10 years ago, it's the highest
point in Green County, even though it's primarily hay fields the
scenery is gorgeous. Were I younger I'd have built a house on this
knoll:

Mine too. I don't care to travel anymore, just short jaunts, maybe as far as
Big Sur in any direction, a couple of hundred miles.

===========

Our regular trips are 200 miles down to the farm. Other than that, the only
one long one we do is the MIdlands of England to visit GD as we will for the
wedding. We usually break the journey at least
overnight at the farm on the way down and back again so it makes it easier.
We have both spent many years travelling and living in other countries and
we are quite happy now to stay in UK. Family visit us now)

Big Sur???

Big Sur is a stretch of spectacular ocean coastline where the coastal
mountains meet the ocean, along the mid-coast of California. 2/3 of the
property along the coastal highway is federally owned, with absolutely
no development allowed. The rest is protected by some of the most
restrictive development regulations in the world. It's considered a
national jewel.

Big Sur is a stretch of spectacular ocean coastline where the coastal
mountains meet the ocean, along the mid-coast of California. 2/3 of the
property along the coastal highway is federally owned, with absolutely
no development allowed. The rest is protected by some of the most
restrictive development regulations in the world. It's considered a
national jewel.

=======================

It sounds wonderful) Thank you!

I just Googled it and it is indeed spectacular)))

It is indeed a national jewel. I was there last September and was
impressed all to pieces with it. We were supposed to meet a friend in
Monterey and had the option of driving up through the valley to Montery
and then back down to Big Sur, about four hours from Santa Barbara, or
to take the Cabrillo Hwy along the coast, which would have taken at
least twice as long. I know the scenery is incredible, but I wondered
how much we could take it and if it was worth it.
As it turned out, we opted for the fast route and then took a drive down
past Big Sur on a nice sunny day. It was amazing. It is the sort of
drive that would be great at high speed in a sports car with the top
down or on a motorcycle, but the reality is that 30-40 mph is
challenging enough for most drivers.

Another reason why I love living here, my traveling days are over too,
but I get to see plenty of points of interest without traveling more
than a one hour drive.

You should try. We made a "leaf peeping" loop of the USA and lower
Canada a few years ago and it was truly a trip to remember. Everyone
needs to see Niagara Falls from the Canadian side once in their life.

I'm not that many years younger than you are, but hubby and I were
just talking about making a specific visit to Washington DC to explore
the parts of the Smithsonian we haven't seen yet, the new Black
History museum, tour the White House (something I've done several
times, but hubby never has) etc. DC is usually just a side trip for
us, but it will be the destination this time.

We've never been to New Orleans either, but that will be another trip.

I also want to see White Sands National Monument in New Mexico
http://www.americansouthwest.net/new..._monument.html
and Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona (300,000 acres) the
next time we tour the Southwest.
http://travel.nationalgeographic.com...ument-arizona/
There's so much to see right here in the good old US of A!

PS: I've been to Dinosaur National Monument in Utah. It was very
interesting and it's pretty close to home.

I envisioned his tongue planted firmly in his cheek when he wrote it.
I suppose he could have put a smiley after, but it was obviously
written in jest. Sheesh.

We have done too much travelling and lived in too many countries to be

I've been there. It's weird (and very cool). You always hear
advertisements about various vacation destinations with the "white
beaches." The beaches are never white though, just a very light brown.

White Sands in NM though really is pure white sands. Looks like you are
driving through snow but then you get out of the car and it's 90f+
degrees. Without looking it up, I think it's gypsum and not regular
sand. Don't stay too long though...it's probably still radioactive. ;o

My husband was at White Sands Test Facility on business once. He had
to wear a radiation badge. You know that footage of an atomic bomb
blasting horizontally through some cinder-block structure that you
always see black-and-white footage of? He saw that site while he
was there.

Kewl! I know it's gypsum - and I think it's definitely worth a drive
by. We might even stop and get out, because I want to touch it.
