It's Here

Consecutive days of 90+ degree weather...however unofficially, summer has arrived.

A few summer to-dos:

1. Get summer hair cut (for a reasonable price):  It is entirely too hot for hair half-way down my back.

2.  Turn on air conditioner. I tried to hold out as long as possible on the AC (what??  I am cold-natured and really enjoy utility bills less than $25) but since the temperature has been in the 80s since February, the effort was a good one.


3.  Double up on both daily plant waterings and work-outs.  Waiting too long to get into shape for summer makes this a necessity.

4.  Stock up on sunscreen.  You can still tan while wearing sunscreen!  Plus it beats going from pale to red in less than two hours.  My personal favorite is anti-aging, has a great smell, and is on sale!

When Bike Becomes Hike

If you plan to ride your bike by yourself and get a flat tire, be prepared to either a) repair the tire or b) walk 5 miles back to your house.

Note to self:  Learn how to fix a flat.
