It feels like we skipped a few months here-went from April right to the end of June! I can’t remember seeing the leaves on some of the trees pop out like they have in the last few days-even the lilac bush is blooming! There is also a pollen explosion which has had me down and out. Allergy medicine seems to be taking the edge off my stuffy head and gooky throat. It definitely is a heat wave and if it goes above 90 tomorrow-it will be only the second time in history it’s happened for 4 days in a row.
I’ve only planted some Sweet William and pansies under my little Japanese maple.
The bugs are even out and I have a few wicked bites already!
People have even played hookie and went to the shore, though the water still feels like April. I guess you can’t get it all.

Be careful about washing your hands because of the Swine flu. There’s cases in NYC and Ohio, so it’s getting closer to us. Scary stuff!
