Put away the dryrobe

It's officially spring/summer - I put my dry robe away in the attic for the season and got out my summer mumu!  It was actually in the high 80's today and so the water at the lake is up to 68 - that's weather that most people can swim in, not just weirdos. 

On Tuesday it's supposed to get up into the 90's, so I decided that this weekend was a good time to start preparing for summer. I went to get my ac down from the attic, and once again instead of lowering it down I dropped it. Dope. I was googling if I could still use it because I couldn't remember what I did last year, but then I started reading that I should actually replace it because ac's are so much more efficient now than the were 10 years ago. So, today I did parkour, then I bought a new ac and installed it, then I went to the lake. Of course all the parking was full and it was a zoo there. Some of my friends have a folding bike, so they were able to park a mile a way easily, and I decided that I need one of those too - not just for the lake but also to leave a spot for hiking. So, I ordered one - we'll see how that goes, and if it's any better than bluebikes.

Also this weekend I put some plants in my garden. I did cherry tomatos, because they are the best. And kale, which we can all agree isn't the best, but it's good for you. And a sage plant because I feel like they are hardy. My rosemary came back from last year and I already planted snow peas. And of course the raspberries and horseradish returned. I still have a little space so I have to decide what else to put in - maybe tomatillos because they always grow so well? 

I took a personal day on Friday and was going to hike Lafayette and stay at the hut up there, but the weather report was saying sleet and freezing rain for Friday, as well as 30-40 mph winds for Saturday, so I stayed home and was productive in terms of getting my car inspected and renewing my parking permit. So, the hut is still on the bucket list.
