SUMMER 2011

I believe it's summer now and I have proof:
(1) I turned off the furnace yesterday when the temperature outside turned warmer than indoors :-)
(2) The grass is growing so thick and fast that I can't keep up with it. I need to mow in stages because it's too hot and sunny outside during daytime until 7 PM!
(3) Terri is quite happy to take breaks from the heat and follow me indoors for a rest in the cooler house
(4) Windows are left open -- even at night!

On the other hand, one could argue that it is still spring; my neighbours' apple trees are just blossoming now. My baby lilac tree is getting ready to bloom in the next few days.
