It has been over 90 degrees down here for the last few days! Not to mention that it’s also been super humid! It’s crazy, it’s only April. It’ll be a nice break getting to Rockford where even if it’s humid for 3 or 4 days we get a good storm and then we’ll have a period of dry heat. The other nice thing about Rockford weather is that at least some of the time it will actually cool down in the evenings. Here, it just gets more humid over night and doesn’t get below 65 or 70 degrees. Anyway, I’ve been informed by EVERYBODY (or so it seems) that I’m going to be miserable this summer. I’ll be so hot that I won’t be able to breathe and will only be able to sit in airconditioning doing nothing. Well…I just have to say…I love summer! I love growing my flowers and vegetables. I love swimming, I love the beach (not that there are many beaches in Rockford, IL!), and I love picnics and cookouts. I know I’m going to have to be a lot more careful about overheating when my tummy is bigger than a beach ball, but there’s always cold drinks, big floppy sunhats, sunscreen, the shade and lots and lots of water! I plan on NOT being miserable. I’m making a conscious decision to enjoy every little scrap of summer that I can. Even if I have to do my gardening with a flashlight!
