You've finally come for me, stiff southwesterly winds!

Like many a Memorial Day past (mixed in with the many awful, rainy ones), it is almost eerie how Mother Nature has made it feel like summer RIGHT on cue. Sure, we had those wonderful 2 weeks in April, but between the evening sea breezes, lack of fragrant greenery, and lack of humidity, it didn't REALLY feel like summer. But today...and TONIGHT...ding, ding, ding! It's 1:30am and still 72 degrees...WITH humidity. Then there's those stiff and oh, so deliciously balmy southwesterly winds SLAMMING into my living room! YES! The fact that I have all 4 living room, south-facing windows open at 1:30am is the REAL sign summer's here. Sweet Jesus, that smell of balmy land air...it's almost too much to handle. It reminds me of vacations & hotels. Hotels right on the ocean, where you'd GET such a strong balmy breeze. Can I use the word BALMY more? I fucking love that word. The only disappointment at this moment is that my fiber optic grass plant isn't rippling as wildly in the wind as I'd hoped...perhaps because the plant looks half-dead. Dammit. Suddenly, i'm in the mood for yachting and baseball. Yes, it IS my mission to cram every motherfucking summer cliche possible into my life this season.
