Going back to St. Swithin's just found this ... hadn't heard it before:

Apples and St. Swithuns
"St Swithin is christening the apples"
Brand, Popular Antiquities, 1813, i, 342

There is an old saying when it rains on St. Swithin's Day, it is the Saint christening the apples.
Apple growers ask St. Swithin for his blessing each year because they believe:

  • Rain on St. Swithin's day 'blesses and christens the apples'.
  • No apple should picked or eaten before July 15th.
  • Apples still growing at St Swithin's day will ripen fully.
 
Shreddies only the order of the day in Spain, indoors of course. Temp 30-32 Grados.
Slight wind but bloody hot.

Only about 25 here, but this close to the lake with a strong wind from the SW, if feels like 35 ... the wind should change tomorrow; good, clean Canadian air from the NW.:mosher:

No ... I'm Canadian, eh; gimme a break ... "horse's ass" is a Canadian term that one could apply to, say, the Hyndburn Councillor of your choice;) By the way, to keep on topic, there is a wicked storm rolling in off Lake Ontario as we speak.
 
Wow, what rain when the front passed through .... I had two raccoons and a stray cat sheltering on my front porch!
