Easy for you to say...we've had freeze warnings every night the past week and scraping frost off the windshields in the morning...

I'll take a little of that summer weather as right now it's about 48* and the rain has been coming down for more than 20 hours.

We have the big tree out front and two smaller ones in back. When they're in full bloom it smells so nice just to be outside. If it just wasn't so hot.
