Spring has sprung? Those of us who have been here a while can tell you nothing will really change until July 4th - then we can reliably say the rain will subside. Out will come the barbecues and shorts wearing will be bonafide garb [not just something we do to help ourselves think that spring and summer are here]. Oh and you can stop wearing the wool socks with your sandals too.....
Until then? May is as good as it gets for us - so enjoy!
