Crazy from the heat

Spring showed up on Friday. By Saturday afternoon Summer was upon us.

I was having a delightful walk down Charles street on Friday. People were smiling and making eye contact. Everyone was in a good mood.

I stopped to pick up some coffee and ran into an impressive group of mommies and multiples - twins mostly. The kids were playing happily and the moms were chatting away. The coffee was very exquisite.

The heat kept right on through the weekend - we did a lot of work for the in-laws in New Jersey. Today Boston set a new record of 86 degrees.

The first flush of spring makes people do weird things.

I saw a perfectly normal looking woman chasing a squirrel up a tree. Later a French tourist strode forward so confidently that she walked into traffic and her friend pulled her back onto the sidewalk, just in time.

People tripped, they wore totally inappropriate clothing (tube tops are never okay!) and they all had a fantastic day.

Today I got my first flush of spring (or summer) too - I need to kick up the SPF in my moisturizer. After a few minutes in the sun I turned a little pink.
