SUDDENLY...SUMMER!! After a stunningly brief spring, summer has arrived! Many of the natives are clad in shorts and sandals.

At 4:00 p.m. the temperature measured thus:

















A daughter of mine spent the afternoon here preparing and seeding her vegetable garden, a typically springtime activity.




And the yard man was very busy today, as well, with springtime duties.


Mulching and mowing.


But nothing says that we've got summer so much as a cookout.



And when the daughter arrived with her chef, he said, "Bring out the grill!"



Perhaps this is just a short summer preview. If so, it looks to me like it'll be a blockbuster! I'm already anticipating opening day.
