It's still spring--thankfully! Enjoy the humidity!

Annette Lyon said...

It's getting close--not quite there yet with the colder days, wind, and occasional spring rain storm, but it's coming. Winter's FINALLY gone for good!

Lene said...

Summer has been here for a few weeks now. I am so glad we have the heat without being humid.

Jan the crazy lady said...

I had to wear a jacket today. About froze this morning. Good for you though.

Stephanie said...

We are approaching the low 70's. Here we are just hoping for spring.
Love the garden. I planted mine today.

Brenda said...

It won't be here for awhile, but I did get my small garden planted on Mother's Day. We don't expect SUMMER until after the 4th of July. I know. Sad. huh.

linda said...

Yep, summer is here at my house too! It's been close to 90 every day.

Bren's Life said...

I'm so glad we don't have humidity. But we sure do have the heat. It's in the 100's here... And being in this boot cast, no swimming for me!!
Have a great one.

tammy said...

Let's see....100 degrees....yep, it's here!

But I guess you knew that since Bren and Lene live by me!

cute picture post :o)
we have some odd weather the last couple of weeks - tons of rain, cool temperatures, but today the sky is blue with big fluffy skies, slight breeze and high of 80 - just about perfect!

Da Bergs said...

There is nothing like beach towels blowing in the wind and tomatoe plants, yummy!!!

SuzanSayz said...

Hardly. We keep getting little coming attractions of Summer, but never for more than a day or two. I hate being teased like that!

Mikki said...

Ugh! Yes, it's here. I'm dying in the near 100 degree weather already. I wish spring could have held out a little longer.

Terresa said...

I love the towels drying in the wind pict. And the bird feeder pict. Sweet signs of summer.

Supercool Hotmama said...

We have a patch of that clover. It's from tiny bulbs. I bet you'd have to repot to get rid of it completely.

Love your summer signs. It's almost so hot here that we only want to stay indoors anytime after 9 am. Check.

hammond fam said...

not even close. actually we finally got some buds on the trees.

Tink said...

I'm totally thrilled with this weather until...my a/c broke this week and I went home to a whopping 87 degree house! ewww. But I think we got the problem fixed and we'll be back in a cooler house. Whew!
