We've had a total of about 3 days over 65 so far. Today it is 50 and windy and storms are expected. I'd really like it if Spring could get here before Summer should be half over. Why can't they mix us all up in a bag and give us all decent weather?<br />*hugs*Shimmy Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161810615900981695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-38239674098925859822009-04-28T13:46:00.000-04:002009-04-28T13:46:00.000-04:00It is quite hot here isn't it!

I have these awful paper shades in the bedroom that are supposed to be used while renovating. I really have to find some blackout shades, but in the meantime, I'll be hanging some dark fabric over the window too.<br /><br />And yes, our bedroom AC units went in over the weekend.<br /><br />Your husband's garden looks cute. I hope the really hot weather won't cause the lettuce to bolt.<br /><br />Love the macro of the leaf -- so soft and pretty!<br />xoxo,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799729997229744515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-10184877881469926452009-04-28T11:22:00.000-04:002009-04-28T11:22:00.000-04:00Here in RI we went straight from "too Cold and rai...Here in RI we went straight from "too Cold and rainy to work in the yard" to "too Hot and buggy to work in the yard"!GailOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556665956317683667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-61741708938886675852009-04-28T11:01:00.000-04:002009-04-28T11:01:00.000-04:00Your blog never ceases to amaze me.
