Well it's hot and everyone knows it's hot...So, I'm playing along with Di over at The Blue Ridge Gal, trying to cool off some.  Now, I know that some of you are not wanting winter to come and I have to say I'm not either...But, I need some relief from the heat.  Maybe not to the extreme of the photo below.

Jim and I...well mostly Jim did...shoveled off our pond.  It's nice to sit and listen to the sounds of the woods no matter if it's summer or winter.

Snow shoeing is something that Jim and I enjoy doing in the winter.  I am looking forward to doing it again.

Now, didn't this give you a bit of relief from the heat or did it just make you dread the thought that winter is just around the corner?
