Well, we've said goodbye to July - it was a really nice month here at Joe's Pond.  Great weather, for the most part, with no huge damaging storms, plenty of sunshine, and only occasionally too darned hot.  I reported a total of 9.25 inches of rain for the month.
Out of curiosity, I went to my reports for the five previous years:
2009, 7.00 in.; 2010, 3.92 in.; 2011, 2.70 in.; 2012, 2.90 in.; and 2013, 8.08 in.  I was surprised that 2010-12 seemed to be pretty dry.  But the figures are pretty accurate, at least for this particular area.  Down the road a few miles the measurements could be quite different.

I have a few activities and announcements for August:

The JPA Summer Cocktail Party is Sunday, August 10th from 4 to 7:30 PM at the Pavillion. The band is playing from 4:30 to 7:30. This is always a lot of fun and for many people on the pond the final gathering at end of season. It is a BYOB, and we request that people bring an appetizer to share. Tickets are only $5.00 (to help pay the band) and can be purchased by contacting either of the Committee co-chairs, Carmen Gagne (802-498-4225), Bo Keach (802-684-3673), or Sue LaGue (802-476-4505).
