Well. The Heat Kicked Back On. I'm Just Going to Ride With It. It Will Get Warm Again Before Long

Well, this Memorial Day Weeknd has been a wash. I'm back to a jacket when outside and I pulled the blankets back out. I need more cover to get things done. I decided to take advantage of the crappy weather to get ahead on other projects, including more preparation for this week, followed by the summer. There were to be no outdoor activities this weekend and walking the dog soaked me to the bones.

And it looks to be this way again this morning, although they say it is supposed to break sometime today. The grass, trees, and flowers are loving it. 

Pam talked me into watching The Burroughs, but I'm not sure how far I will go with it. She said the plot gets much better....Stranger Things for geriatrics. "Is that why this is moving so slow?"

If we can get some dry time today I really want to get back into the garden. The nicer days are ahead and they're nicer when everything is planted and landscaped. I also want a day of reading on the couch (which is likely not to happen). 

Either way, Karal and I are going for a longer than usual hike. Being cooped up has been for the birds. 

At least it's a holiday Monday. We have that going on for the day.
