Roller coaster temperatures ... what a difference a week makes

SWAC Husband was repairing his garden gate, expecting to have at least until after noon to work on his project since the weather forecast had suggested today's high temps would be in the mid-80s. <br /><br />By 11:00, with a sweat-drenched shirt, he put away his tools and we finally turned on the air conditioning. Even though there is still a slight breeze outside, the humidity feels like it has crept up. Perhaps it's the build-up from the past three days of hot temperatures.<br /><br />It's hard to believe that a week ago today we woke to 33 degrees and frost on the grass and cars. A few days later, high temps topped out at 93 degrees, and it's been warm ever since. What a roller coaster spring we've had! The forecast says 70s for next week. Hope so ... I've got outdoor stuff to do. Enjoy the sunny day!<br /><br />Photo by Lynn R. Mitchell<br />May 2013

color me spring

March is here and soon it will (finally) be spring. Thank god. There is no season that does more for my mental well being than spring. And since I try my best not to dance in the streets anymore, I celebrate this much needed change in little ways. Like on my hands.<br /><br />My hands are in terrible shape right now. Thanks to another weekend spent working on the <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/p/one-room-challenge.html" target="_blank">One Room Challenge</a> the insides are an umpa lumpa orange from removing stain and my fingers are covered in paint...again. Not to mention their general dryness.<br /><br />But as soon as my projects are complete, the first place I'm going is to get myself a mani/pedi. There is no better reward. Now to decide which spring colors to choose.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aAU2PtvXBny5PSJvADsa72I07t0GrsextI0NkIcTaWyICP41W980Q_37RIjFSHGdCu0P-ilf65jRot4UIYlFLc3ljVxlmSD-02V211YUokQCGAh8rSBmRrs2hDzWVOQRNI_CpYwcUrjV/s1600/EssieSpringColors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aAU2PtvXBny5PSJvADsa72I07t0GrsextI0NkIcTaWyICP41W980Q_37RIjFSHGdCu0P-ilf65jRot4UIYlFLc3ljVxlmSD-02V211YUokQCGAh8rSBmRrs2hDzWVOQRNI_CpYwcUrjV/s400/EssieSpringColors.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">all colors by <a href="http://www.essie.com/nail-colors/" target="_blank">Essie</a></td></tr></tbody></table>How do you celebrate the (almost) arrival of spring?
