Re: weather

Same here, Donna.  We've had a couple of 90 degree days already.  Last week 
was cooler, and rain was predicted but only light showers developed.  This week 
has been in the upper 80s and it looks like going to 90 again today.  Again 
rain was predicted but only showers.  I really hate it when we are this dry 
going into the summer.  I have not planted a lot of things, hoping for more 
moderate conditions, but today I found that slugs are getting into my holding 
space, so I guess I'd better get them out of there.  After the late start - things 
were really slow starting - everything seems to have just exploded out of the 
ground.  My carefully selected six-weeks span of daffodil varieties all 
bloomed in a two week period.  Spectacular, but frustrating.
This morning I was greeted by four open blooms on my tree peony - yesterday 
the buds weren't even showing color.  Crazy!
