Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for May 22, 2022

Can you tell that Jan Eliot lives in Eugene, Oregon?

I love Alix’s imagination when she’s in her pool.

Love the dog’s one raised eyebrow, panel 4.

It never rains in California, but girl — don’t they warn ya …

Prefer what ‘Alix’ has enthusiasm for rather than for what ‘Holly would(especially if I were ’Val’) ! ! ! ! !

It’s Summer enough for me and I’m in Vermont.

Summer is my favorite time of the year which led me to write the novel Summer on the P Bar J Ranch (available on Amazon) that’s set on an Arizona ranch during the summer of 1952.

Had close to 90 F last week, now highs are in the 50s.

State I live in lot of schools ended last week, metro town I live at 25th is last day of school. Then the kids have possible 3 days of rain before Memorial weekend turns back to hot. So we have cooler weather 4 week. Alix is a very patient girl.For me my activities came to a halt, I did walking with my daughter 3 dogs on leash, another man had his two on leashes, result my summer slowed down, I fell, trip to ER, fractured femur close to hip, pain reliever’s, and I cannot lift myself up. Bad getting old, if I was much younger I not notice.

It sure felt like Summer prematurely in the Midwest last week!

South Texas after one solid week of spring summer is here with 90’s temperatures.

I wouldn’t know, we have fallen back into early Spring

Lately here in California, summer comes early and stays late.

Jan Eliot is one of my heroes. She writes with such heart

It looks like here (OR), still having to keep the fire going! Highs of 40s and 50s until Tuesday!
