Okay. There were three days back in March with summer-like temperatures. Days when I thought, "This is it! It's come early. I can throw open my backyard shed and start living on the deck again!"
And then . . . nothing.
Those three days were followed by the chilliest, wettest, most miserable early spring in recent memory. So I went back inside.
But now, it's the Victoria Day long weekend. And it's warm and sunny. And I'm thinking, "This is it! It's come (somewhat) early. I can throw open my backyard shed and start living on the deck again!" I kicked off the weekend with some yard clean-up yesterday. And I encountered this welcome sight. Remnants of black spray-paint from work on my Halloween fence extension last autumn. Apparently, I missed the target a few times.
Good memories. And the rhodo doesn't seem to mind.

Ah Summerween ;)
Haha! I saw that photo and thought at first that you had an unusual species of plant. :) How funny! Spray paint sure sticks around.
I know what you mean about the weather. We got our hopes up with last month's awesome weather. Then it dipped down again. At least it feels like summer today!
I remember Victoria Day. It's strange not to celebrate it here, but the week after we will have a four days weekend, as it is the Diamond Jubilee.
It does look like summer here, but it barely feels like it.
