Ughhhhhhhhh. Not impressed with the spring we had or the summer we’re having.
Every time the weather changes my arthritis is killing and my husband feels the same and it is very uncomfortable. I spend some of my time gardening on my balcony. We have a few herbs and two tomato plants. I love gardening.
Hugger you should see the dryness of the Rideau River in some spots especially where we go at the falls area not far from Mooneys Bay – the river is dry in that area and all you see are the rocks exposed. This year is very bad for our health and well being.
