Memorial Day weekend

I understand that Memorial Day is the unofficial beginning of summer.  It is certainly living up to its responsibilities this year with temperatures in the 80s and 90s.  Spring seems to have come late (remember how cold and nasty April was?) and sped by very quickly.  Mind you, I'm not complaining. I'll take summer heat over winter cold any time.  Splash pads are open in the city parks and pools are opening, flowers are in full bloom, leaves are full and lush on the trees (making it harder to spot the white plastic bag in the tree which is still there) the Indianapolis 500 will be run tomorrow and there is a new Star Wars movie out which I will be seeing soon.  Hooray for summer. unofficial or otherwise.
