localweatherWe had one (1) really warm day last week and all the roses and irises around the neighborhood went KABOOM. I don't like taking walks during the day because there are so many people around, but I really want to see those flowers in the daylight. Even at night they're spectacular.
All the blossoming trees are done blossoming and fully leafed out. I always have a moment in early spring when I irrationally worry that the trees won't grow leaves, and it's always reassuring when they do. No matter how eagerly I look for it, I still have a day of feeling surprised that suddenly all the trees have these big leaves on them! Where did they come from? When did that happen? But when I sit on our front stoop in the afternoon, the sun is shining from the north, not the south, and I have to position myself just right so the leafy trees down the block don't keep its light from reaching me.
It was still chilly enough to wear a hoodie for tonight's walk, and it's supposed to be rainy and cool for the next couple of days. But by the middle of next week we'll get into proper early summer weather at last: sunny, temps in the 70s F, and a thunderstorm on the horizon.
