You know that old song about lazy, hazy days of Summer? Well, I can't say anything about the lazy part as I've been working more than I really want too but the hazy part is easy. The haze has descended from our friends up in Canada. I believe from Ontario. The fires are burning and many of the states up here are getting the effects of the smoke. When Jordan was living in California there was always fires and haze but he said it smelled like a campfire. Not here! It smells like burning plastic! I was hoping for Canadian bacon smell or even Maple syrup but it's not to be. I feel bad for those in Canada suffering from the fires and not sure how it happened but I'm hoping for some clearing as rain is coming this weekend. I wanted to get one last post in before June has flown the coop. Once July hits the Summer seems to fly by. So have a good weekend everyone. I'm working tomorrow but not at all next week so I can get my painting projects going. Bye Bye June! Here's a few hazy pics for you:

The Canadian fires seem to be affecting so many. We have had these bad forest fires in California is past years, as you mentioned, but hoping this year will not so bad. We have had so much snow that the forests are not as dry, however, there is lots of dried grasses. If a stray fireworks gets away, there could be some bad fires.
It has been crazy hazy here too.....and the smell a mix of campground and the chemical smell. Unfortunately, no more rain here - we had some heavy rain last Saturday night into Sunday but that has been it - and none in the forecast except for a minimal chance Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. Everything is so very dry. Enjoy your Independence Day celebrations - and good luck with the painting! ~Robin~
Dear Yaya, I'm so sorry about all the bad Canadian smoke which is drifting your way. Usually, it always comes this way to the East but the weather pattern is all mixed up.
There is so much smoke that it's drifted all the way to Europe.
Here, it's been raining most every day. It's been difficult to get planting and weeding done this year. My son only cut a small field of hay and has been unable to cut any more. It takes three sunny days to cut and bale dry hay otherwise it gets moldy and unusable for animals. Luckily, we have a lot of last year's hay in our three hay barns.
I hope that you can get your painting done and some little rests in between.
Hugs, Julia
Yeah I was wondering why the smoke smells like plastic myself. Are they not telling us something???? It is still hazy from the smoke here and we try not to stay outside for long. Janice
With the light of the SUN (correction of letters). Have a nice month.
