T in the Air and Second on the Second

 Happy August everyone. And Happy T day also.

Before  I go on to my T day part of the post, let me go back to August of 2013 and share some cards I made. I don't make many cards any more, so it was fun for me to look back. This is my link up to Elizabeth's Second on the Second.

Here's the link to the original post: Some Art from the Archives. I think I need to make some more cards one of these days.

Now on to T.

July was a really wet month here in New Hampshire. Sadly, August hasn't started out perfectly dry either. Let's hope that changes.

 This past Saturday we finally had decent weather to go back out in my husband's boat. It  has either been  wet or there were potential thunderstorms  on the weekends, and as you might remember, we got stuck in one of those earlier in July.  Unfortunately, we only got out twice all of July. That really bugs my husband since he works all week and then come the weekend, it rains. He's been so anxious to get out on the water. 

This past Saturday we had lots of wind at home, and it was cool. We expected it to be the same on the water. It was cool, but not too windy. Hurrah.

Here I am out fishing. I had caught 3 mackerel by this point. I look better in this next photo though as my hand isn't in front of my face. (I was rubbing it in that I had caught 3 fish at this point and my husband only 1-smile. We have a fun little competition with each other every time we go fishing.) I actually caught one more too before the fishing adventure was over. 

The dogs are really fascinated when we catch fish.

My husband's boat has a wet well as it is built for fishing.  You put in a plug and turn a pump on, and then wet well pumps fresh ocean water in to keep your fish alive.  Every now and again we need to open the top of the wet well so we can be sure everything is working as it should, plus the dogs can check on the fish. They think the fish are really fascinating, although I must say Pete would eat one if we gave it to him. At the end of the day the fish went back into the ocean to get bigger.

When we were out in the boat Saturday I saw not one, but 2 T day references in the sky.

I wasn't fast enough with my camera to get this  next one in right direction, but this one was for some hard iced tea.

I think you can make out the glass and can on this flag.  I am sure this plane was flying up along the New Hampshire beaches and then flying over the river to hit a few of the Maine beaches too. It might have even flown over the beaches on the North Shore of Massachusetts. We do most of our boating right along the New Hampshire and Maine state lines. 

Be sure to stop by  Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog  to see what all the lovely ladies have been up to for T this week.

As of last check, my blogger reading list is not working (as a few of you have mentioned with yours also). If I don't stop by your blog, it's because I can't get onto my list to see who has posted.  I should be OK with T day posts, but it might be an issue for those of you who aren't T day guests.

Hope the new month is starting off well for you. Thanks for visiting.
