That makes me very sad. And the poor swifts. I hope they got enough to eat before their long journey back to Africa. I feel as badly for the farmers worldwide as I do for the wilderness. Your farms with their short growing season must be in terrible shape. Because of the heat, our Midwestern states have just lost the entire grain crop for the year, including the corn (maize). Disaster for the farmers and everyone else.Katrina Blanchallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300264690284771712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890439151517582437.post-6225859906765830112012-07-19T08:33:10.415-07:002012-07-19T08:33:10.415-07:00Optimism would certainly be an upgrade from my cur...Optimism would certainly be an upgrade from my current state, which can be described as confusion combined with disbelief at the strange turns the weather has taken.<br />Thanks for visiting!Katrina Blanchallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300264690284771712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890439151517582437.post-33061598165367982572012-07-19T00:02:02.936-07:002012-07-19T00:02:02.936-07:00Yes ....ethically retarded politicians a world-wid...Yes ....ethically retarded politicians a world-wide plague I feel.<br />Like Snippa says we have been dangled with the tit-bit by meteorologists that the jet stream is finally going to bugger off and sit back where it is SUPPOSED to at this time of year...meaning that we MIGHT actually get some seasonally appropriate weather for a change.I was out and about yesterday and believe me it was all any one was talking about....THE JET STREAM.Hopefully our hopes will not be dashed.<br />My garden too is a mushy pulp and I feel so sorry for self-pick fruit farm owners as everything must just be mildewed.I have one Chilli on my plant...wow!<br />The native birds and insects are struggling too and many species of butterflies are not looking too good after this summer.There has been no summer and already the season feels like it is changing,well for me it is, as the Swifts will be migrating back to Africa soon.When I can't hear their gorgeous shrieking call I know that summer has started to be over....and it bloody well hasn't begun yet!!!!!<br />Anyway,love the Hummingbirds,love the boots and definitely more snack-looking-for rather than danger-alert-action going on I feel if my dogs are anything to go by!Urban Rustichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964025652320979395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890439151517582437.post-53607611745632362562012-07-18T18:39:22.514-07:002012-07-18T18:39:22.514-07:00Optimism, from both gardeners and farmers and pets...Optimism, from both gardeners and farmers and pets is essential with our weather this summer.

Should that be ethically challenged to be pc?<br /><br />Our garden is totally bashed down by the continuous heavy rain. Not sure if there'll be any tomatoes. I picked a very small handful of blackcurrants yesterday but they weren't plump or sweet. We're trying to be optomistic for some sunshine!!! Apparently the jet stream is showing signs of shifting though so fingers crossed for that.snippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455223528958815846noreply@blogger.com
