We thought the summer rain was bad..

Remember when people thought the rain in late July and August 2023 was bad? What about Storm Isha yesterday, eh? Another storm on the way too.

The start of June was blisteringly hot. It was so hot I preferred to stay inside out of it. Nobody seems to remember that.

Oh, the photo above is obviously not recent. It’s last August, during the wet spell.

Patient Pooch Steals Attention

With a walking stick under his arm, a man pays a young woman for a St. Bridget’s Cross on February 1st, 2023. As he completes the transaction, his loyal dog sits patiently on the ground, gazing away in anticipation of walks to come. Two women pass by and catch sight of the striking canine, drawn to the dog’s friendly aura and bold bandana.
