    NB>> We are being told it will be getting cooler over the weekend.. not sure   
    NB>> how long for, though...  I don't really mind... spring should be   
    NB>> 60's-70's, so some in the 60's isn't bad..  :)   The lilacs are in full   
    NB>> bloom pretty much.. and the cooler temps should help them last through   
    NB>> the lilac festival that starts tomorrow..  :)   
      
    MH> It is supposed to hit 80 degrees today here in Maryland.  Good enough   
    MH> morning  for me to ride in to work.  POssible t-storms later,   
    MH> especially late  evening/overnight.   
      
   As long as it doesn't start the t-storms on your way home...     
      
    MH> I still can't get over that they are calling for a low of 35 degrees   
    MH> on Monday  night.  What a cool spring this has been.   
      
   I think they're forecasting something similar here, but it's not all   
   that uncommon here, at least historically... my neighbor always used to   
   say that annuals should wait until after Memorial Day to be put in,   
   since the chance of frost wasn't really over until then.  Cold-hardy   
   ones were ok earlier, but that was the rule of thumb.  Not followed   
   every year, of course, since sometimes one just can't conceive of a   
   frost still (but might still be caught)...     
      
   At least it's better than last year where we had that really early long   
   spell of heat, long enough to really fool the trees and other plants,   
   and then had more seasonably cool weather that put everything at risk...
