Climate Change - and it's not Global Warming!

So, it's been a bit chilly lately.  In fact, we're in the middle of July, and can't seem to break 70 degrees more than once a week.  It's been so cold and wet, that the growing season seems to be all but hopelessly stalled.  No tomatoes in our garden this year.  Slugs are at an all-time high, so no running barefoot through the grass without squishing a bunch of them on your feet (Icki-poo!  Can someone say SANI-WIPES?)  You can see it in Virg's wardrobe which is about 4 months behind the normal season.  Just wait for our line of fabulous fur-lined snowsuits we'll be rolling out in August.


April:  here we see Virg sporting his puffy down anorak with hood for Easter.

May: next we have Virg in his flannel-lined wind-breaker with rake. 

June: here Virg layers a jaunty, wool-lined hoody 
with an orange wind-breaker and rain boots for a stroll around the park.

July:  winding it up, here we see Virg in his traffic-orange, 
double-thick hooded sweatshirt ready for a backyard picnic.

 Can someone say brrrrrr?
