Rainy Seasons!


Since the end of school we've had a rainy season here in New England. The skies have been grey and misting or raining for the last 2-3 weeks, except for the occasional brief glimpse of sun. The weather forecast says to expect the same for the next ten days! People are grumpy, vacations have been spoiled and end of the school year activities have been postponed and even cancelled. New England is starting to feel like Old England!

I have to say I enjoy a good rainy day or two, on the bright side you can read your books, blog without feeling guilt and skip blowing out your hair. It's cost effective too! We haven't really run the air conditioner, who needs to water the plants and we push off going to the store because, "Who wants to get wet?", not me!

but.............Even for me this rain is getting to be, too much! People are starting to gather wood for an arc! My kids miss their friends, pools are over filled and the beaches are empty! Scurvy is almost upon us, We need our vitamin C. I miss my sun glasses that give the world a rosy glow!

So if your out there and you've read this.........

What do you do when the rainy day never ends?

Where do you find your rainbow?

And most importantly is there a Native American Dance to make the rain stop?

I love Girl Scouts!


Allison and Megan are both in Girl Scouts!


This is Allison's troop at SPARK!

She is always so happy to be with the other girls learning about self esteem, service and fun! The Leaders are really great too!


The best part of Girl Scouts has to be the S'mores!
Here is Megan's troop at awards night. They all worked so hard and got lots of patches this year! Megan's favorite was the scrapbooking patch.

Here is Megan with one of her leaders Brenda McGinn. Brenda has been Megan's leader since Kindergarten. We are so lucky to have her!



I love Girl Scouts they help my daughters become well rounded member's of our community. This year alone they visited a local food bank collected food and supplies for a local pet shelter. They learned all about India for world thinking day while exploring other countries. They talked about how to be good citizens and friends.

Girl Scouts Rock!
