Chilly and Rainy

 


Memorial Day weekend is upon us... a holiday honoring those who have died in war but which has morphed into the unofficial beginning of summer.   For many it is a time for cookouts and outdoor activities.  Unfortunately the "beginning of summer" here in Ohio feels more like early April.  

I was in Mexico and missed our rainy, and even snowy, April, but after my return in mid-May the weather had turned dry and unseasonably hot.  However changeable is the best word to describe Ohio weather, and Mother Nature has flipped the switch again.  The forecast calls for rain today and tomorrow with high temperatures only in the fifties.  Sunday will remain cloudy with the thermometer barely reaching sixty.  Monday will be more pleasant, dry and partly sunny with a high of 71.   We definitely were in need of rain, but it will not be a very nice weekend for those who had outdoor holiday plans.  I was going to take flowers to the cemetery and continue working in  the garden, but I guess I will spend a couple days inside.
