In My Mind it's Summer

canyonwalkerIt's not quite summer yet. Technically summer doesn't begin for another 4 weeks here in the Northern Hemisphere. Even the popular definition of summer in the US, kicking off on Memorial Day weekend, doesn't begin for another few days. And the weather around here sure doesn't resemble summer. With a forecast high today of 71 it's felt more like March than late May. But today I decided none of those have to stop me from adopting a summer mindset!
Today I restarted one of my summer habits of going out to the hot tub for dip mid-afternoon. On the way to it I stuck my feet in the swimming pool. The heater is on now in anticipation of reopening the pool this weekend. Already the pool water is a pleasant 83°. That's not quite warm enough on a cool-ish day like today though it will feel great when the weather finally catches up to the date.
As for the hot tub... yeah, that 103° water feels awesome even when the air's a tad too cool for the pool. Sitting in the hot water under bright sun, tanning my face and shoulders, made it feel like summer even though the temperature continues to say "March". 😎
