 NB>> 60's-70's, so some in the 60's isn't bad..  :)   The lilacs are in full
 NB>> bloom pretty much.. and the cooler temps should help them last through
 NB>> the lilac festival that starts tomorrow..  :)

 MH> It is supposed to hit 80 degrees today here in Maryland.  Good enough

As long as it doesn't start the t-storms on your way home...  

 MH> I still can't get over that they are calling for a low of 35 degrees
 MH> on Monday  night.  What a cool spring this has been.

I think they're forecasting something similar here, but it's not all
that uncommon here, at least historically... my neighbor always used to
say that annuals should wait until after Memorial Day to be put in,
since the chance of frost wasn't really over until then.  Cold-hardy
ones were ok earlier, but that was the rule of thumb.  Not followed
every year, of course, since sometimes one just can't conceive of a
frost still (but might still be caught)...  

At least it's better than last year where we had that really early long
spell of heat, long enough to really fool the trees and other plants,
and then had more seasonably cool weather that put everything at risk...
