No snow here, but it is 10 degrees cooler today than yesterday, with 20-40 mph winds, and the temp is supposed to drop another 10 degrees tomorrow with more wind. Fortunately, the wind
may keep us from having a freeze tonight. We've already lost the apricots this spring, and the apples are in full bloom or just past now (I have one in each stage). We didn't have any fruit last year, it would be sad to have another summer like that!
The kids played their last soccer game of the spring season yesterday, with only light breezes and temp in the 60s for the game--PERFECT! Okay, they lost, but they are on a recreational league team and were playing a competitive league team. Our team kids are quite philosophical about it, acknowledging that they play for fun and exercise, and they don't want to get yelled at (by coach or parents). If they were older, they would be like my brother's softball team at his first post-college job, taking a gulp of beer for every error a team member made. Beer softball and beer volleyball actually made my geeky little brother like sports just a bit.

Don't
ever tell my kids about that story!!!
My step-mom is visiting her sisters and families in Denver today. Bad timing, eh?
