WEATHER OR NOT?

Been there for about 3 weeks now, sinal medicine has found its way into my daily vitamin regimen <sigh>

However, I do like 65-70 degree days and 45-50 degree nights

Yeah, i like it when it gets real hot like that, too . . . but when summer comes, and to my metabolism, all Hell literally breaks loose, i hate it. I'd love a 50-60 degree, year-round climate . . . hmmm, maybe i'll head back to Ireland . . .

Never been to the old country, but I love the 45 or so days we get in the Spring and Fall. However, I get to thank Bush for putting more pollution in the air as it don't flow in my neck of the woods and it seems to be expanding our Spring and Fall. So, maybe there is some good in him after all! Maybe that's what he means by "Healthier Air" (sic)

Another tornado watch tonight, though not in our county. Starting to like the midwest -- keeps you on your toes.

Never been there PD, but always wanted to visit! I'm praying you're safe and sound! There's something so exciting about impending storms, maybe it's the adrenaline rush?

Okay, so if you laid your head down in New York Friday night, wondering if this rainy, drizzly, bound-in-gray-days weather would ever end, and happened to sleep till this Monday morning, you'd think you'd been kidnapped and taken to Dallas.

87(!)

(yipes, where're my short sleeved shirts?)

is the predicted high for today.

Windy, yes, but also extra creamy warm.

(crap. I don't have a pair of khakis that both fit and are ironed. The ironed ones are too big. )

Joe,

Fabulous here. Hibiscus brilliantly red and I do believe they nodded at me as I smiled at them through my kitchen window.

misti -

all's well. just a lot of bluster, though I think something may have developed to the NW of us last night. had a lightning storm like I've never seen the other night -- flash lightning, but localized in rapid patches over Lake Mendota, just one after another. I love t-storms, so I'm thrilled. Remember particularly fondly storms in SW Colorado, in the Sierra Nevadas on the approach to Mt. Whitney (at about 11,000 feet; a tree got hit about half a mile from our tent; fortunately no fire came of it), every afternoon in Switzerland in the summer, and over Monterey Bay (a pretty rare event).

Ah, storms...

So wonderful today.

All the buds of Spring are out, waving in the breeze,
and that's just the two girls in the thin gray teeshirts I saw on Park Ave

Hi Misti, et al,

Windy and warm here today- the first time I've had th AC on in the car this year. And thunderstorm season is here again in North Texas. Just hoping we don't get that high wind and damaging hail. Our garden is looking sooooo nice! We've got tomatoes setting on already and the potatoes are looking like they're nearly ready to dig.

Jose mi amigo como esta.

Ditto Jose's weather report it is the same in Dallas.

Hi Joanne! Yup, I reckon Dallas is hot too.

OO&XX

seaglass is making me homesick.....

wow, jose has made an appearance. long time to post...........

Yes it certainly is nice to see JC back again.

We have a very warm summery day here today and in my garden, the prunus Kanzan is reaching full flower,and looking very glorious as it always does at this time of year.

It dominates the back of the garden, as well as pushing the wall over.
I think I will let it finish flowering, then do a little judicious root pruning with mattock, spade and axe. That would be easier than rebuilding the wall. It's my own fault, I planted it a bit too close, about twenty years ago.

Good to "see" you all too... Hi pueo!

Cloudy warm and muggy again today- ideal conditions for some good afternoon and evening thunderstorm activity.

Jose Cuervo, Nice to see you're still around A2K. Just knowing your typing form is still intact says a lot.

We're experiencing what many people call gw; we already have summer temps - in the high eighties today.

Hi pueo, Did you meet with your family yet? You missed a great get-together in San Francisco.

Yesterday was a glorious bright and sunny and warm day in Toronto. Mid-70's in the shade. I ended up buying a new little sunhat on my way home from the A2K get-together.

Now it is cool and bucketing rain. My neighbour tells me that the temp on his porch thermometer reads -1 C in the shade. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Gotta go put some socks on, and grab a raincoat before I take the dogs out.

if it's minus 1 c on the porch , i think it would be a better idea to go out into the SUNSHINE ! (of which we don't have any here either). hbg
