On Smoke in the Air & A Slow Start to Summer

 



We are currently living with and breathing in the smoke that's been blowing down from the wildfires burning in the central prairie region of Canada.  It's been filling the Mitten this week.  Before it descended, we were already awash in enough pollen from this year's late burst of spring to activate noticeable allergy symptoms in MrM and me.  Now, with this, we are both coughing, hacking and feeling miserable.   It's no fun to be outside right now or trapped inside with the air running.  Even though temps have been mostly moderate, some nights are still dipping down into the 40's!  It's been an oddball spring, with a slow intro into summer.   A bubble off center, from my perspective.

Same in NEO. I'm tempted to call it Trudeau's Revenge or something. It's actually been in 80 the last couple of days, so it's finally on the way.
