Winter in Summer

This in on the rim coming home from Mesa -May 23rd
This is just 2 days after 89 degree temps here in the
white mountains.

Winter Blues

Last night and today we are having extremely high winds, which usually means cold weather is on the horizon. I checked wunderground.com and sure enough we will be getting snow this week. Yuck!

Wendy, I agree with you completely. I want warm weather too, at least longer than 2 days. My garden is struggling because the weather has been so inconsistent this year.

Summer Heat

Today is the warmest day of the year so far. It was in the 80's - I love it! I have all windows open and the ceiling fans spinning. It is so nice to be able to have fresh air going through the house. It was such a looooooonnnng winter.

The greenhouse is full of plants and growing vegetables, greens and flowers hanging from the ceiling in their pots. It a wonderful thing. I am so happy its warm and summer is on its way.

Table set for breakfast - Chantelle ready for food!

Mother's Day was really fun. Dani and Adam came to visit for the weekend. Chantelle and Dani with a little help from Doug made breakfast, mmmmmmm. They also made dinner after church. We had a wonderful BBQ and ate outside.

It was a lovely day and I felt so special. It was a lovely warm day. I was so happy about that. It's been cold and rainy since.

I rec'd many fun gifts from my girls. Thank you, Jessica, Dani, Heather and Chantelle for making this such a wonderful Mother's Day! I am truly blessed to have such wonderful daughters like you.

Doug turned 50 and we had a BBQ Friday night. We had a really good time and Doug is a really good BBQ'r - It was fun socializing with good friends.

We need to do stuff like this more often. Who wants to join us?

The weather is still a bit cold. Not as warm as I would like. I think the perfect temp. is 75 to 80 degrees.

I did get my garden planted and a few things have popped up. I am very excited about that. A few things did not, so I have to replant. Oh well, such as life.

Doug turned "50" on May 8th and we had a little soiree for him. Actually a BBQ. I will post more on that later.

Gary turns "60"
