In reply to Tomi Newcombe. I can totally understand loving the longer days. It's great, just very odd for us since this is the first time we've experienced it. I love the sun, so I have the winter blues too but I like your cellphone analogy! With such short winter days, I can understand why so many folks in northern states are outdoorsy in the summer!

The long sunny summer days are a welcome to me up here in Michigan. I suffer from seasonal disorder. When the days get shorter and shorter, and we lose bright sunny days for the overcast, shorter days of winter here, my internal batteries run down. No energy, no enthusiasm, no ‘go’. By February, I feel like an uncharged cellphone whose battery is about shot.
This time of year, I am outdoors more then in! Gardening, mowing grass, playing outside with Buddy, our 6 year old chocolate lab, kayaking, golfing. Summers in Michigan are great!!!

In reply to DebbieM. Hi Debbie! Hopefully you're staying cooler in Idaho. Unfortunately we had to bypass Idaho this year, so we're currently in Montana and the weather has definitely cooled off. It was weird going from 105 in Spokane to 80 in Montana the very next day. Hope Hurley is staying cool too. It's tough seeing our pooches suffer from the heat, isn't it? You mentioned staying in CA back "home" for a while. Hope it was lots of fun!

Looks like a good spot to be camped in when it’s hot. Doggies look happy to be in the water. Same with our dog, Hurley doesn’t do as well with heat as he did when he was younger. And he’s only 6. Hopefully it will get cooler for you as you cross into Idaho? We’re in SE Idaho now until the end of the month. It’s a bit warmer for us and definitely lighter, longer as we came from CA. Not to mention the time change.
