Apr. 30, 2008 - We came, we saw, we froze.
The winter coats are in the closet and if I have to break them back out before October, so help me, someone will pay.
Today was sunny. So we took off for the Arboretum which is fantastically cool under any circumstance with it's hedge maze, childrens' garden, pond walk but particularly cool when it's sunny and there is an art exhibit of giant bug sculptures.
Unfortunately, the weather, too, proved particularly cool. Sunny, yes. Warm, not so much-ish. 53 when we arrived. I think I am becoming an obsessed nut like Thomas Jefferson over the temperature (he took the temperature wherever he was at about the same time in the morning and again in the afternoon and recorded it--for nearly 50 years day after day after day after day).
At least for Jefferson, though, there was an element of scientific wonderment in his OCD focus on the warmth or lack thereof. I think small, accurate thermometers were still a novelty then. For me, it is just an incredulous "I can't believe it is still this--I would say freakin' here if I were still using that word, but I'm not--cold here."
Fortunately, it warmed to 65 before we went home, which made the kid's light spring jackets at last appropriate.
Blessings, Holly
