The local weather widget on my Mac’s dashboard says it’s 90 degrees outside right now, but I don’t believe it. Although it does seem to be quite a bit warmer than what the weather guy reported this morning, it’s still not that hot. I’ll believe 80. Maybe. I can feel a nice breeze — refreshingly cool, but the sun is scorching! No complaints, however. None at all. Actually I’m sort of amazed that when summer officially began a couple of days ago with the ending of school, the ever-present June Gloom we’re accustomed to has disappeared.
That means tonight will be perfect for an outside dinner, after I scrape the hard water deposits off the glass on the patio table. So much for Martha living here, right? I’ll light some little votive candles, throw a couple of Duraflame logs in the chiminea, and hope the clouds don’t return so we can enjoy what promises to be a very warm evenin…
