I’m so sick of crummy weather. I’m rejoicing cuz I’m off work and it’s sunny! I’ve not seen much sun on my days off this entire year.

I dream of retiring a much milder climate.

I sorta feel you. I mean not literally because we're still chilly and waiting for summer BUT I don't envy the southerners experiencing the same pain on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I also dream of moving to a moderate climate some day....

However... Here in Michigan we are going in to our best months of the year! I always say that very little beats summer on the great lakes. I just wish it lasted longer.

100 today, 100 tomorrow....it's still May. If this is a pattern, this is going to be a nasty, nasty hurricane season this year. We are already starting to make plans.

yep, 100 here too, we may have reached 101 yesterday. It's supposed to break Friday, the high is only 96. The pool water is already almost too warm to cool you down.

I’m northern, and today we have high particulate matter in the air because of a more northern wildfire.

Our snow is being replaced with flooding. So yes, I would rather have the 100 degree weather!

Our turn for that comes in the fall with the hurricanes, but from what I've seen on the news, it is particularly brutal out there right now.

It’s 10 am and feels like 88. My ten year old is ready for summer to end - I told her it hasn’t officially started yet.
