Record Setting High Today: IN the 90's

Swimming in May

A warm morning, clearly, with a haze, reminiscent of late summer mornings, not the last day of May.  Two more days and we are off to Darien for Beth's 45th, hip hop recitals, and lacrosse games.  Cannot wait.  We will most likely work in the garden this morning, trying to build some dams against the constant water from the roads, Evie will cut the lawn, and by noon, we hope to have most of our chores done, as it will  be really hot and we want to relax and swim.

We both swam yesterday, keeping up our Woodlawn record of swimming in May and being the first one's in.  It was not that cold for some reason; we had to use a step ladder to get in and out and when we put it in at the end of the dock, it was completely submerged, that's how high the lake is... and when I stood at the end, it was over the top of my head whereas I can usually stand in chest high water.

Chicken Barbecue at the Viking Club

As I mentioned yesterday, we enjoyed the chicken barbecue at the Viking Club so tonight we will eat at home, something simple because of the heat.  Neither of us do well in warm weather, preferring the cold to warm, unlike most of our friends.
