Beyond warm

I love Spring. May is absolutely by far my favorite month of the year. The flowers, the fresh temperatures, the beginning of summer (I know, I know... summer doesn't "technically" start until June, but to that I say "whatever").

But I'm feeling this year like I got a little ripped off! Yesterday was a record-setting 96 degrees. 96! We seem to have skipped over May and gone right to August.

I know we've lived here for a year now, but I can't help but still make some comparisons to North Dakota. One year ago, Phil and I ran a half-marathon in rainy/slushy/windy 45 degrees. That's 50 degrees, people!

In any case, I am pulling out the skirts and tank tops. Summer came early.

In other too warm news, I took a bite of cereal this morning to find that the milk soaking my shredded wheat was room temperature. Not a good way to start the day. This is the third time in a year that we have had refrigerator problems. Does anyone know how to break bad refrigerator luck? Wait a second..... it all started when I cracked an ice tray. Does that mean I have 6 more years of room-temperature milk?

Hi Becca
Here is how it works at my house--today the fridge tomorrow the wash machine and the next day it will be the dryer or the dish washer. Sooo enjoy the warm milk today, tomorrow you are going to have to wear the same clothes because it will be wash day and oh,oh the dang wash machine won't fill with water. It ain't a perfect world yet so keep smiling at the craziness.(It's going to be happening for at least 6 more years.)
You ARE getting some "not so like Boise weather" out there aren't you? Can you cool it down a notch for when we get there?
You are definitely a Spring season Lady. I, on the other hand, prefer the Autumn season for just as many good reasons I presume, e.g. The quiet windless nights, the Fall colors, the slowed down pace of farm life.
