It is the end of March and temperatures have been in the high 70s here for several days now. Yesterday I think we may have even hit the 80 degree mark. I cannot stress enough how uplifting some warm weather can be after one of the coldest winters I can remember, and I'm starting to get a taste of what summer will be like here, now that I've begun to settle in.
The problem is, no one's quite prepared for this early heat. A few examples:
Sadly, the local ice cream stand is not yet open. I checked yesterday, just to be sure.
That plan being a bust, I decided that maybe I'd get my hands dirty today and plant some flowers. Again, a little too early for that, so the pickings are mighty slim at most stores.
Sunday we had to settle for having a bbq overlooking a pool cover, since only two weeks ago there was a sheet of ice over the ground and therefore the pool's not open.
But I'm not complaining; there will be plenty of time for those things in a month or two. Just let the sun shine in.
