Strange May (in a good way)

I have not mentioned something to far about this month: it has been cool, even cold for May. Springtime is in full bloom, or should be, but if it was not for the blossoming flowers and the green trees, we'd think we are in September, maybe even early October. Yes, it feels and sometimes smell like autumn, especially when there is a breeze or at night time. And I can't complain: I have been wearing long sleeve shirts and warm jumpers for weeks now. There is not one tshirt in sight. It is like a dress rehearsal for autumn. I just hope it stays like this for a while and it only becomes marginally warmer, until autumn comes early this year. Tall order and I know it will not last. So I am enjoying the moment.

we are having very cold weather and just east of us they had 3 inches of snow. i am not complaining because i know what is right over the horizon and i am not happy. why are we cold weather lovers? is it because of where we grew up or are we just creatures of the night?

We're in a heat wave here in Edmonton, breaking all kinds of weather records. It will be 30C tomorrow. At the beginning of May!

Its been one of those cold, wet Springs this year. I remember 2015 being like this right until July 1st, then it was like someone flipped the switch and hey, presto Summer!
