Baby it's cold outside

The weather here in Toronto has cooled back to spring temps.Our peonys are now in full bloom.I just wish we could have them all year long.

We interrupt this thread for a late breaking news story....WE HAVE SUNSHINE!!! I almost forgot what it looked like! I thought maybe someone was shining their car lights in my bedroom when I woke up, but, nope, it's the real deal.

Yep, we're way up north. Not quite ice berg country but pretty darn close. Tourists come up for vacation and I feel sorry for them. They're in shorts, flip flops and a brand new sweatshirt that has Fort Bragg written on the front! For some reason people think beach = sunshine and warmth. Maybe 2-3 days of over 70 degree warmth, but nothing to sweat about!

Meece, I use to live in Antioch and it would be in the 90's and 100's most of the summer. I had a window air conditioner and loved it. When I was going through chemo I could actually smell the chemicals in the AC because my sense of smell was so heightened. Now....I open my windows to cool the house down...doesn't take much up here!

well after a couple nice days we are back to rain in Southern Oregon-sucks! Although, I'd rather have rain than 100's!

There's snow falling on the Siskiyous as we speak!

It's still sunny. I went into town and about got blown over. The wind is ridiculous. No wonder we have sun, the wind blew the fog away!

Baby, it is not cold outside.  97 degrees.  My husband got up @ 6 am today and dug my butterfly garden this morning.  We got the plants/bushes in.  The family is coming over a bit later to swim and cook out.  It is hot, hot, hot.

Saturday was in the low 80s but the humidity was stifling (felt like the upper 90s) and my sister and I were at graduation parties outside all day.  We were wiped out after the parties.  Then today and yesterday we're back to the lower 70s - no sun.  Technically it's still spring and it's absolutely Michigan so this is all to be expected.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend- I wasn't on the computer - it was a low energy weekend for me so I slept a lot in between activities.  Hope for more energy next weekend when my girlfriends and I are going to northern Michigan for a fun wine tasting weekend (diva's uncorked).

Warm!!!  Do you have to deal with humidity too Meece?

Saturday evening we had a cookout at the church we called a family celebration (instead of doing dinners for mother's day and father's day separately), it was planned before the lightning strike last month. We invited the local fire department to come by and celebrate with us and to thank them for saving the main building. It was hot in the picnic shelter but we installed outdoor ceiling fans that helped to keep a breeze blowing. After we ate we had a flag retirement ceremony for damaged and faded flags that was directed by one of our boy scouts and his father (assistant scout master). The ceremony was a beautiful thing, we started it about 7:00 pm and by that time the temps were dropping and the sun was behind the trees to the west of the fire pit so we weren't in direct sun.

We have clear, breezy sunny skies!

suzette, we never got a final word (or atleast I didn't see one or even more accurate---I don't REMEMBER seeing one) on your Sex in the City injuries.  (now, anyone who doesn't know will that is, is going to wonder!!!!)  

We had a severe thunder storm yesterday afternoon but it only rained for about 10 minutes but hard with some lightning and high wind. last night we got in the upper 60's low 70's, calling for mid 90's again this afternoon with chance of thunderstorms again this afternoon.

We are under a severe thunderstorm warning right now, you can see the dark clouds north of Lenoir. They are calling for more of the same the rest of the week. Hopefully by Friday this weather pattern will break. I am going to the Hickory Crawdad's baseball game Friday night with my son for his 25th birthday.
