I can’t control the weather but I can my attitude towards it as we head into another rainy and cold summer weekend. 🌧️

One thing I can say is it won’t be as hot but just as damp as it been all summer. ☔ I guess I didn’t pick a bad weekend to head out of town last weekend. I’m hoping the rain will hold off enough on Saturday though to catch the nature bus 🚍 up Thacher Park. I find the bus is a worry free way to get to the park and it’s a stress free, but orderly way to structure my Saturday morning with lots of reading 📖 in the hammock, hiking and nature observation. 🐸

One week until summer vacation 🏖, which hopefully will be less rainy but the early forecast isn’t promising. But the Finger Lakes National Forest will be nice regardless. I want to get a big bag of clams and even if it is rainy, beer boiled clams are good. 🐚 I plan to get some additional books 📚 out of the library to read and I’ll have tarps and bring my muck boots 👢 in case the woods is super sloppy. Who knows how much Robert Treman gorge swimming 🏊🏻‍♂️ will be open but unless there is thunder, the Watkins Glen pool will be good.
