My list involves indoor stuff now. May 1st felt like July 1st. It's
already getting too hot to do much outside unless it gets done early
in the morning. It's going to be hot and dry the rest of the week and
I've already had to pop out to the garden to water the tomatoes before
the sun hits. After that, I'd love to say I'd done my chores for the
day but that Honey Do list is too long already!

I know what you mean. Our spring was much too cold and we didn't get
"rain" so much as we got "open flood gates". It made putting in the
spring garden, and getting stuff to survive, very difficult this year.
May your weather calm down and get normal again. I'm beginning to
wonder what "normal" is these days, though.
