The big warm-up

The last few days have been really warm and sunny.  You'd almost think Spring is in the air, but it's just a bit too soon still.  However, it is nice to walk outside in shirtsleeves and no coat and not hear that little voice in your head (no, I don't know which little voice it is; there are far too many to name them all) saying "Hey stupid, you forgot your coat!!"
Even so, I'm not really looking forward to the warm up so much.  Last summer is still far too fresh in my mind (we weren't blogging then, but for those who were close enough to hear me screaming in frustration, it got up to 90 degrees INSIDE my house at one point... WITH the A/C on!!)

I did manage to venture outdoors a couple of times with camera in hand and it was nice to be out even though the landscape for the most part continues to look dead and my sinuses are telling me repeatedly and with conviction that I am foolish to assume there won't be anything worth sneezing over.  The best part was spending time with The Tater Tot in the park; I know he'd be outside all day every day if we'd only let him.  And knowing this makes me wish even more for a home with a boy-sized backyard!!
As I type, it's 81 degrees and the A/C is on...  I am in a state of rebellion.  I do not want it to be summertime.  I baked banana nut bread in protest.
