Minnesota is doing it’s usual seasonal flip-flop, skipping seasons, and going to extremes. This week, we’re roaring into Summer. A suitable greeting for Rachel, who came home from college yesterday for the summer. Here it is!!
I really enjoy May and early June. It’s all so changeable and things start greening up from the rain. Speaking of rain , The weather radio has been blasting severe thunderstorm watches and warnings since 7am (it’s 10 am now). Today’s high will be 78, and the highs the rest of the week are 75, 84, 89, 78, and 74.
And on that changeability theme, of course next week it shifts back to cool spring weather in the low 60s. On the positive side, that’s the perfect temperatures to do outdoor work.
The deck and front porch are all ready for summer. I am going to gut through the 80 degree temps and resist the urge to install the bedroom air conditioner yet. With all the work I did on the front porch, I actually have a sleeping porch to retreat to when it’s too hot in the 2nd floor bedroom.
The absolutely best part is the lack of wind migraines. It’s been really windy the last day or two here. But I’ve noticed that when it gets hot or very cold, the wind doesn’t trigger a migraine.
I have a lot to enjoy and look forward to in this changeable season.
