Weathersfield News July 21, 2016
Summer is in full swing. The heat
and humidity are in town and so are the thunder storms. I love a good thunder
storm, don't you. You just never know what the skies will deliver; heat
lightning, big booms, hail, it just keeps you guessing. And of course the
elusive rainbow. As a friend from Ireland told me, you can't have
rainbows without rain! And with the rain comes the garden weeds. I have vowed
that I will weed my vegetable garden and my berry patches this week. I will
stay off my computer and get this weeding done. Ok, join me now and say "I
will get those weeds out of my garden" -this is my mantra for the second
to last week in July.
This past weekend I volunteered at the 28th running/riding of the Vermont 100 Endurance Race
Despite the heat and humidity most of the particpants really enjoyed the 100 mile or 100 Km course and the 100, 75 or 50 mile ride.

Saturday night before the Sunday morning race finish I took a musical break. I saw Shawn Mullins at Tupelo Music Hall Londonderry, NH
