Maybe it is fast enough...

!00 degrees in Redlands for the past couple of days. I want summer here, but too much too fast isn't good either. My plants need a watering system. Everything is a mess in the irrigation department.

Summer is Coming, but Not Fast Enough

It's got to be in the high 80s today already. It's lovely, but too hot to work in the yard. It makes me want to hit the road for New York. It's routinely still hitting the 30s at night there though. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer. And I do have a job and all.
One more week until standardized testing at my school. One week of testing, then 4 more weeks to keep the lid on until summer. I've got such an 'interesting' class this year. I am not looking forward to any of it.

Easter Rocks!

Just had Easter dinner that I made. Ham with cherry pineapple apricot sauce, asparagus, au gratin potatoes, fresh berries with ladyfingers. Yum!!!! What do you call a mimosa with pina colada juice instead of orange? Or one with pomegranate blueberry juice? Because that is what I am enjoying now.
It's a beautiful spring day! The windows and doors are open. We rearranged the living room a bit. It feels like I could take control of my home again!
I get to spend the day with my family. My daughter is coming to stay over tonight. I'll make salmon for when she gets here. We played some of the player piano rolls. Hubby is out in the Carriage House playing his new amp and guitar. I wish I could always feel like this, happy and hopeful.
Have a wonderful Easter!
