Where is summer?

Seriously? It has been raining so much this month. I don't understand what is going on. Last summer it was rainy and cold as well, and I don't really like the trend. I figure after 6, or closer to 7, months of winter cold snow yuck, we deserve a nice summer! It is already the end of June for crying out loud! Last week we had one nice day, and hopefully tomorrow will be a nice day, but the 10 day forecast says rain everyday after that. I'm just going to go ahead and say that I am sick of it :-) I know, the people in the mid-west would love some rain as a refuge from their 100 degree temps, but I would welcome a heat wave at this point...and so would my tomatoes.

So what is a girl to do when it rains all the time? Well clean, knit, and sew of course. I have been spending some quality time with my knitting needles and sewing machine. Of course, it tends to be in 15 minute increments, but that's ok. I can't actually post any pictures right now either...in case people see what I am making them. But soon I hope to have some pictures up. So when I spend my free time sewing and knitting...less of the cleaning gets done. But, at least I do the laundry :-)

In other news, Matt and I decided to get iphones. Yes, we are insanely crazy, but you know what? We have been talking about it for the past couple of years, so why not go ahead and finally get them. I have to say, very cool phone. The improvements to the latest one were what we were waiting for. I'm very excited to have it. Now if I could just figure out why it doesn't work so well with my wireless network. But, do I really need to use the internet on my phone when I have a laptop sitting at my desk? Probably not, but it is just so darn cool :-) I have to thank my wonderful brother and sister-in-law for tipping the scales in my favor by convincing Matt what a cool phone it is :-D

Our weekends have been very busy all of June, probably a good thing because of the rain. This weekend we will be heading down to my brother-in-law's for our neice's 1st birthday! Yay Sydney! Emma and Sydney are 6 weeks apart, and it is so fun seeing them together. They are both pretty mobile now. Emma is walking everywhere, so it will be fun to see them together. Let's hope for some nice weather! Other than that, I hope to be able to go strawberry picking at some point. I may try to go tomorrow, not sure if there are any strawberries...I should call about that. I was hoping to pick 2 flats so I could freeze a bunch, but if they aren't sweet due to the lack of sun, I might just pick enough for jam and call it good...unfortunately.

I think that is about all for now. I have tons to say, unfortunately not as much time to write it all out...maybe I should get one of those voice writing things for the computer...hmmm.
