It's Official...Summer 2008 Has Begun!!

This morning's visual:
Wow!!!Summer is here!
Yesterday was a real nice day with lots of sun and warm temps and today is looking even better.My thermometer is already showing 20°C and it is only 9AM.
There is a slight chance of showers today according to the forecast but we need clouds for those and we don't have any currently.
The warm weather is here to stay.Forecast temps though next week are in the mid-20°s C.
Check out this 'overnight guest'.....found it on my back door this morning.Nice pastels.
