Roasting

Ugh, the summer has begun here, temps in the 80s-90s and wicked humidity. Our grass I worked so hard on is dying, I am sweaty and grouchy, Piper turns beet-red every time we step outside the door. Neither she nor I does summer very well.  She overheats in minutes on the playground, turning sweaty and red and thirsty after one round on the swings,

I don't know if you count northeastern Illinois as a "colder climate" but our spring/summer has been really schizophrenic here for the last 6 weeks. We've had days in the mid-80s with not a cloud in the sky and then two days later it's 50 and rainy. We haven't been able to officially put our hoodies away yet -- yesterday it was cool and rainy, had to wear my hoodie last night, but by Sunday it will be near 90.

But maybe that's what you mean, that we appreciate them more? I'd rather have a gradual warmup with a lot of days in the 60s and 70s than all this jolting about... that's probably asking too much :)
