Why is it when upgrades for software come it seems they all come out at the same time? I know what I’ll be doing most of the week!

I upgraded to the new 2.03 version of WordPress today. If you find any bugs, please let me know.

I normally try to find the balance in things…but one can only stand soooo many days without the brilliant rays of the sun before it begins to take some kind of affect. So being who I am, here’s the “bright side”…at least it appears that our dog has outgrown his sun deficiency disorder and no longer chews everything in sight when the sun refuses to shine for more than one day. And we have brilliant flowers to bring a little “sunshine” into our lives.

Well today marks the end of the first year of doing daily weather reports. Although it wasn’t a leap year, somehow I ended up with one extra day in the mix. I’ll try to find where the additional sunny, cloudy, or partly cloudy day came in. But the annual report at the bottom of the post should provide a general idea of what sub-tropical means for Okinawa.

Sometimes it feels that the weather just doesn’t want to cooperate with those summertime outings.

But don’t let that interrupt the fun. Whether it be a donut, egg, strawberry fest (2), blueberry fest (2), pink tomato fest, cheese, applesauce cake, ice cream, banana split fest, iced tea, tomato fest (2), lobster, sugar fest, strawberry, oyster fest, pepper, ice cream soda, peaches and cream, chocolate eclair, spuds, strawberry parfait, chocolate pudding, or just being a kitchen klutz – people have found reasons to celebrate the month of June over the years. Here is a more complete list of ideas to help get you started.
