A great way to cool off on a hot summers day

Now that it's starting to warm up a bit, how does relaxing on St. Augustine Beach sound?

Kicking back, listening to the waves roll in, splashing in the ocean, finding a sand dollar in the sand or just sleeping the afternoon away. Sounds good to me, how about you?

June in St. Augustine

"Hello" from our home,

"Rain rain go away, come again another day." Have we had rain; inches and inches of rain, record breaking amounts of rain. I'm happy to say, though, the worst of it is over and now we are back to days of sunshine. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to revise one of my favorite sayings, "the sun almost always shines in St. Augustine".

It does look like we are settling into our summer weather pattern of late afternoon thunder showers. I have actually come to enjoy them as it rains hard and quick, then it cools right off making for very pleasant evenings. I do have to dash around and unplug our computers and TV's just in case the lightening gets too close. Power surges can be very nasty.

Very important recommendation: If you are going to be outside at dusk or dawn be sure to use mosquito repellent. They are out in swarms since we've had all this rain. If you are planning on camping or hiking in the woods make sure you use the repellent. You don't want to be dinner for the mosquitoes!

Our chicken saga continues. Our one hen we have left has now gone broody which means she is just sitting on her nest hoping to hatch some chicks! It also means, no eggs for me, not a one. She'll sit on the her nest for several weeks then she'll be up and around again and hopefully, back to laying eggs for me to enjoy! There is nothing like fresh eggs from free ranging hens.

We hope you'll be visiting the Nation's Oldest City very soon. Isn't it time for vacation?

All the best,
Lynn

Build Your Own Web Business

Have you thought about building your own web business? If I can do it you can do it. I highly recommend SiteSell, the company I use to build this site. What I love, is that they teach you how to build a web business not just put up a website. How to be successful.

Dr. Ken Evoy, the founder, really delivers. I have never met him, but you know what, he seems like a friend that really cares whether I and my fellow SBI'ers are successful. Dr. Evoy has changed lives! Check out My Website Story and see what you think.

Ok, that's it for this issue - see you next time and I hope you have a wonderful visit to St. Augustine, Florida, my hometown!
