The little magnolia suffered the neglect and still hasn't forgiven me. Memorial Day has brought the usual thunderstorms, so at least we have a moment to recover before we have to face more 90s this week. I think that we had an unusually long cool spring. However it went from 74 to 97 within a week. We don't get that slow transition here. I could stand a month of temps in the 80s to sort of help me brace for the bad weather.

There is even a 10% chance of rain. Today it is cloudy and the forecast is that the high will only be 92. There is even a 10% chance of rain.
