This past weekend required sweatshirts and long pants essentially until we left Indianapolis yesterday. Back here in northeast Illinois on the Chain of Lakes it was a TNMDW, Typically Nasty Memorial Day Weather for the whole weekend. Much like the dreaded Round Lake Spring Carnival, Memorial Day weekend means crummy weather.
Friday, there was frost on the windshields when we left. And, it stayed overcast, sixties with the breeze/wind blowing the cold right through your bones and rain off and on. (No rain at Indy until Sunday night, however. A definite good thing.)
Grass growing nicely in this weather, but hasn't been cut since the 20th and with rain last night and predicted for today as well as the rest of the week, this could be a real problem.
Warmer, 80 degree weather forecast, though.
Boat not yet in the water (still in the driveway).
However, as far as bands playing outside, we've already seen two. On May 11th, we saw Captain's Quarters Saturday Night Season Kickoff party with a band. Missed the last two Saturday nights as I was out of town. And, Sunday the 19th, saw Terry Spizzirri playing out on the deck by the tiki bar at Dock's in Wauconda.
And Saturday, Liz picked up our Chain Crawl gear. That'd be 32 bars and restaurants in one summer to get the passport stamped.
Plus, Round Lake schools get out Friday and friend Sue (I went to Indy in her and Paul's RV) will have to face her last day as a teacher and she is soooooooo upset about it. Let the good times roll, Sue! Hard to believe I've been retired for seven years now.
Overall, though, I'd have to say summer is NOT HERE!!
