It feels like summer in my neck of the woods!

Yes, finally, sunshine and lots of it. By mid-afternoon yesterday it was close to 80 degrees. I actually went out for the first time in over a week. We went to the Rocky Top Cafe in town and had a prime rib dinner. It wasn't bad, not the best or worst - more middle of the road. But I was out and didn't cough much so it was a good day. Earlier my husband put the boat in the pond. It had been stored in the workshop over the winter, now it's out where it belongs. It should be even hotter/nicer today, maybe time for some fishing. I just hope my coughing doesn't scare the fish. I hope you all have a great day. Photo is mine.

@AbbyGreenhill It is so hot that the water in the pool is really warm. No point soaking in such warm water. When it rains after a hot day, the rain is warm too.

I can't wait to sweat - and then cool off in the pool...maybe next month it will be time for that.

@AbbyGreenhill It should be decent weather here at this time of year, but we have had a great deal of cold weather this year.

I would rather spend the day on salt water, but for now the pond will have to do.

There's been a little late snow over here - most unexpected - but today it's sunny again.

In Denver, CO it's snowing 'feet' so I guess having our weather is much better. Its always good when the sun is out.

@AbbyGreenhill I think you can find every type of weather somewhere in the USA on any day of the year.

Glad you got out of the house and didn't cough as much that's good. I been healthy now for 4 weeks and that's a record for me. I'm hoping it stays that way. Feel better soon

It is supposed to be warmer here too, but I think that we are going to have to wait a few hours. Definitely warmer than earlier this week so that's a plus!

Glad that you're feeling better and got out for awhile. It's pretty nice here too and I'm hoping to sit outside this afternoon and enjoy the warmer weather

Yes, feeling better, not 100 percent, far from it, but I'll live.

I've been working on my tan on my deck in my bathing suit. Not quite like Florida weather, but pretty close. Have fun and don't scare the fish!

I always scare the fish and I also scare the dog and my husband some times.
