I had misread the temps on Saturday and covered the berries i could for that evening, but it was low 40s. In the past seven days, the coldest was Monday's low in the early morning at 39°F (almost 4°C). We've had some balmy days, too.
My brother was in town for Tuesday, so he, my Dad, and sister L-- all came over for lunch. Christine had ordered pizza and salad, i assembled additional salad greens from the garden, and we had a glorious repast in the orchard -- the phlox and violets all blooming in purples and pinks, the green grass, the bright blue sky. And the apple trees blooming. That evening i went over to my sister's and i had a lovely dinner with her family, Dad, and brother N.
So, Thursday's high was 87°F (30°C) but with the humidity felt like 90°F. No thank you. I mowed after work, as it seems the heat just made all the plants burst forth, weeds and grass included. I was so very very ugh after. (That is: sticky, eyes stinging from the salt from all the glowing i was doing.) Thunder was booming away, but the storm cell passed from the west to the north, slipping by us. We are promised rain for the next two days; good since we have slipped into abnormally dry.
Assuming the insurance prior authorization comes through, i'll be recovering from surgery this time next week. The silence on that insurance process is frustrating. The work leave administrator is similarly FUBAR. I force myself to shrug and move on (after a quick note to the doctor asking for status).

We spoke not long ago and I told her if I were a dog, people would be fined and jailed for the lack of treatment I've received. She got real quiet and agreed and filed the motion with a laundry list of issues that have happened
