Summer arrived here a while ago...we've been hovering around 90 for some time. We got 2" of rain finally but it didn't make a dent. Welcome to summer in Maryland!

We're lucky, though; we have friends in from Austin and they haven't had rain in NINE MONTHS! There are severe water restrictions in place there.

Strawberry lemonade straight for now (it's only 7:30 am); I'll have the vodka later - thanks!
