Downright hot and humid and THEN, cool here.
DH insists on a fan blowing cold air in at night. 🥶
I am sleeping under my electric blanket, just to survive!! :confused:
Still, DD's are coming for dinner and I will need their help to take off the living room storm window for the season.
Looks like about another 3 weeks of Spring before the balmy summer takes over.

May changes moods just like a baby: Someone should have named it "Maybe."

We had 2 local tornadoes pretty close to us this week.
I WISH the ... looking for the "right words", "Silly people" who have taken over our town's board,
would REALIZE that one tornado would wipe out the entire town. There is literally NOTHING to stop one coming due west through farmer's fields that are flat as pancake.
Previous to me mayor and I both wanted to get a siren, but it never happened, so we have to rely on our phone and tv to give us Tornado Warnings. Youngest DD is irritated that in the town where she Works, their sirens go off for high winds and for Watches.
You need to know:
1) Tornado Watch--conditions are favorable for a tornado and high humidity give indicators that it Could happen and often does
2) Tornado WARNING--a tornado has been spotted in your vicinity. Take cover IMMEDIATELY!!
Even if one strikes near you, you can still walk away ALIVE.
The people that built our house left the SW corner of the basement and the West side of the 2nd floor devoid of windows. THAT's where we can go in case of a tornado.
DD's 1920's house has no west or south windows in their full basement, and they have taken the 2 cats to the basement twice this Spring bc of a Warning.
