Positively Tuesday-Weather or Not

     June and all it's weather unpredictablity is here. In Minnesota, we can still have days of lingering cool spring, reminisecent of April, as well as the sweltering heat of late July and ealry August. Then it's of course the start of tornado watch, where the volatility that makes the temperatures change so drastically, create right conditions for all of natures flurry.  This week is all of those things. Yesterday we reached a high of 95 and tomorrow, predicted to be a high of 70, a 25 degree swing.

Filler Picture-I'll avoid this summer!

     How is this positive? The changing weather, as long as the damage stays at bay, is what creates the growth in gardens and the variety of flavors that come  out in fresh produce. It's the rainy day followed by boughts of heat and sun that make getting to the beach or jumping of a dock such a pleasure. June is one of my favorite months and has been since I was a child. Everything is at it's greenest and we have the promise of a whole summer ahead. As a child I looked forward to the days where we would be out from morning until past dark, and then expereincing that with my own kids on the days we were home. June is here, whether or not we're ready for summer.

  1. June can be hellacious can't it. We've had scorching temperatures for so long and then now it's cold, wet and yucky. My son was born on 31 May 1992 and I remember my husband taking 3 weeks off to be with my older son. And it just peed down constantly. I didn't know who was going to murder who (whom?) I guess June is just unpredictable!

  2. June here is generally just hot. It rains and cools things down when it is raining, it quits and then the suffocating humidity sets in. Yesterday it rained and when I came out of Mom's house it felt like I was in a steam bath. Yay, June. . . July. . . August. . . September. . . and most of October

  3. Oh, Anne, call me crazy, but I love those steam bath days. I am missing Florida. Our June is typically mild, as is most of the year around here. Today, though, mid 50's, and windy. DH put his foot down and turned on the heat, which makes me crazy. In all seriousness, though, we very well could turn to a.c. later in the day!

    2. I don't like hte feeling of never cooling off and hate over air conditioned spaces. That's probalby why I couldnot do the south in summer. We det 10 days or so, and tha tis enough for me.

  4. Wow, 95 is really high for this time of year, especially as far up north as you all are. My daughter said it was hot here yesterday, but I didn't venture outside to see. LOL

    1. For June-quite warm, but never lasts long. We'll get some July and August strekas though for sure.

  6. June is here and such is the temperatures that go with it. Today it is supposed to be close to 92 but feel closer to 100. Tomorrow similar but with storms. I had the kids and my niece and nephew out at a local park this morning. At 10am it was already feeling close to 90 degrees although actual temp was only 79. It is what it is.

    1. That's when having even just a filled up splash pool is a nice treat! With no public pools, they are selling out.
