We're stuck in the spring pattern of a few cooler days, a warm front, a rainstorm, and cooling back down (to 60s F during the day and 50s at night). I'm looking forward to getting into the summer pattern of a few warmer days, a cold front, a rainstorm, and warming back up. The other night it was warm and humid and just starting to rain, and I was in a t-shirt and sandals, and it made me hungry for June and July, when it's basically like that all the time. I love getting rained on in the summer and would much rather pack a towel than carry an umbrella.

I've been mostly stuck inside but I'm getting out to my front steps on sunny days, and there are a lot of those. It's just odd to have to wear a light jacket in full sun in mid-May.

Spring allergies are absolutely horrendous this year. Horrendous. My sneezes can be heard from space.

A gorgeous day today, warm and clear, 18 degrees C. I went out and had lunch at my local Lebanese place and it was lovely to see the sun, and to see trees finally colouring up. The first pic is a liquidambar, the second an oak, and the third is the view from the Lebanese cafe's big windows. You see why I like going there.
