We pulled the cover after five months, brushed the hell out of it, cleaned the filters and, after sweating like a hog doing so, at 76 degrees it was was darn tempting.

For the last couple of weeks, it's been averaging in the 60's here. Next week they're talking 95+. That's going to shock my system a bit.

It has been hot and humid for a spell but this afternoon it cooled with a nice breeze and less humidity. Really a nice eve/night. That said, I am looking forward to heading to north Idaho in a couple of weeks. Yesterday a friend sent a shot of her husband sitting around the evening fire ring...

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Bender, the miserable will be the hoards descending from the North for the holiday weekend. I'm content to stay off the Seward, do a little yard work, get ready for guests next week and sit on the porch and enjoy the grill, a brew and the view. If we ever have "typical" weather, Memorial Day weekend does tend to be sunny, clear with temps in the low 70's, i.e. perfection.

No Pilgrims where we will be. Hating and enjoying the heat simultaneously.

Your Gibson looks like it could use a "freshening up".
Nice looking spot.

Picking green beans and squash every other day between showers. You can see the steam. Seems it is always at least 83 degrees. Suns out now so it's sure to be a muggy one!

It is in the high 80s here and pretty nice. Hiked yesterday up in the transition zone in the Spring Mts. from 5k to 6.5 ASL. In more than 40 years living here I have never seen the desert greener of more beautiful. A true creosote bloom, Purple flowers thick on the sage, all the cacti w/ flowers.
Next week it will go over 100*F. I am sure glad the trailheads for a near 12,000 ft. peak starts 30 minutes from my house.

60 and overcast here today. 50% chance of rain.
Next week looks like some good summer weather.

I suspect your question was tongue in cheek Ron but, I cover my apple trees when they are blooming and frost is predicted overnight. I should let frost get about 2/3 of the blooms this spring. The trees are going to be overloaded otherwise.
