Memorial Day Weekend - Sunday

Sunday, May 29, 2022

Dale and I ran over to Ace Hardware on Nicollet to pick up a push mower and some new lawn chairs. Some assembly was required and was fairly easy. Mowed the lawn but it took longer to mow than usual as the humidity got to me. 

Memorial Day Weekend 2022 - Saturday

Saturday, May 28, 2022

Gorgeous summer day today; perfect start to Memorial Day Weekend. 

Dale joined me for drinks. 

Great day for a cigar and backyard jazz. 

The Lilies of the Valley were beautifully pungent.

It's nice that it's finally summery outside. 

Still warmish in the later evening for my evening walk. It’s warmed up overall just enough that the warmth doesn’t go away immediately when the sun does. A sure sign of summer. 

Our neighbor, Steve, who used to live across the alley from us has moved to a new house up the block. Took this as I walked by his backyard. 

Cigar Time

Sunday, May 15, 2022

This string of glorious days is gonna spoil us although we really deserve it after an overlong grey and cold spring. 

Temperatures are in the low 70s and the humidity is very low so it's still perfect leather jacket weather. 

Backyard Jazz

Friday, May 13, 2022

Didn't get into the 90s today but low 70s with sunshine is very pleasant. My leather biker jacket was appropriate for sitting in the shade. 

School was hell today so it was nice to light up a cigar, listen to some music, and enjoy the weather. Dale joined me for a bit too. 

Glorious afternoon and evening. 

Surpassed 90

A Glorious Day

Saturday, May 7, 2022

Ok, today was not just a nice day, it was a glorious day. It's been four months of grey skies and colder than average temperatures. 

We have dinner plans at Gary and Warren's place tonight. Dale ran to the store to pick up some wine and appetizers so I could get started on my cigar. 

Listened to some music...

When Dale returned from the store he joined me outside and we each had a glass of pre-get-together wine. 

We talked about how we wish we could both be retired NOW. 

Grey, Gloomy, and Cool

Saturday, May 1, 2022

Grey, gloomy, and cool today. Rain on and off but I was able to get out in the yard for a couple cigars.

Pretty late in the season for not seeing any buds on the trees. 

However, there are some signs of hope.
