Sunny and hot

Yesterday, we matched the record high for the day set in 1992. It was 68F in the afternoon, and as far as everyone in town was concerned, getting a little too warm for comfort. If I heard correctly, Elise said that there were some heat-related incidents yesterday...

The kids and I walked into town during mid-afternoon to visit the hospital for their 90th birthday celebration. There were snacks and a few prizes to be had.

By the time we returned home, we were beat from the heat. Our apartment gets quite a bit of afternoon sun, now that it is approaching the summer solstice. That means the indoor temp can reach 80F or more. It's definitely shorts weather, and pretty close to outdoor swimming weather.

Everyone here is happy to see that we are having spring, and hopeful that we will have a real summer instead of the soggy mess that was summer last year.

The skies are overcast today and some showers and rain forecast for the next couple of days. So it looks like our "heat wave" of temps above 65F only lasted a couple of days.

Elise's dad arrives this morning. Pastor Brown arrives this evening. And the annual Salmon Derby kicks off tomorrow and runs through Memorial Day.
