Monday update

1. Never did manage to get my Friday blog to post. Finally gave up.
2. Both Mark and I came down with apparent food poisoning from carryout food. We're fine this morning but it put us out of commission for the the weekend.
3. The heat exploded the garden in the last few days.Yesterday's high was 82°F.
4. Today's projected high will be 30 degrees lower than yesterday's. It's currently raining. Here's hoping it rains all day as we got very little rain in April.

Oh no! I'm sorry both of you got sick but I'm glad you're feeling better - I guess that's one restaurant to cross off the take-out list. I'm sure the constant weather whiplash feels like another kick in the gut but I hope the rain softens the impact of the latest extreme shift.

Yes, very weird weather lately. The forecast looks better...who knows? Sorry you guys got food poisoning. :( Take care.

Oh my. That's quite a rollercoaster of a weekend you had. I hope you are both feeling better. Food poisoning is the worst! I still remember the horrible bout of it I got 30 years ago. I no longer eat ham & cheese omlettes. And I never went back to that restaurant. We had the same kind of weather whiplash (thanks, Kris -- great phrase!) out here, but it seems to have regulated itself. Hope you get lots of rain. Rain is perfect for staying home, recovering, and doing gentle, puttering-type things. Be well.

ELIZABETH — Only got .52" which was about half of what I was hoping for but I'm not going to complain. Currently cool and foggy out. It's been hot enough that I'm enjoying the break.

KRIS — It is hard getting used to weather conditions that are not what they used to be. For years, that old jingle about April showers was true. Not any more. It's all a constant surprise.

Yikes! Two people down with food poisoning at the same time does not sound good. Glad you're on the mend. Re: the weather, we're headed for 94 on Sunday. Ha! This climate change business is insane.
