Hi Bill! Thank you for your articles. As usual, I’m very impressed with your photography. Gorgeous photo with grass that looks like velvet. The Central NY weather is very similar to what you described. May brought some gorgeous and hot days. I was thrilled when the temperature reached 90 – I finally removed my spring jacket. It rained heavily at times, with water dripping into the house. Our roofers were here twice; it hopefully was fixed during their second visit. Time will tell with the next heavy rain. We had heavy winds the other night, which brought down a good-sized branch from one of the honey locust trees in our backyard.
Hope all is well with you and your family! Marcia đˇ âī¸ đĒģ
