Summertime, and the livin' is sweaty...

It's been a cold, wet spring -- and we may have more to say on that later, since there are real flooding problems around the midwest this year -- but we always knew that the cool weather couldn't last. And it hasn't. Today it is so sticky, a bit warm but very, very humid, and we've put on the air conditioning for the first time. It's always good when we can hold off the A/C until June, and a week into the month is even better. But it's time for summer, and we'll hole up in the heat of the day now until September, when we can once again enjoy a time without A/C and without heat.
