It’s Saturday and it’ll be warm in Chicago (mid 70s F), but probably with thunderstorms as well. The weather turned unaccountably cold in Dobrzyn, but I’m pleased to report that the cherries are safe. Meanwhile, Hili has a burning questions about ornithology:
Hili: The trees have shed their blossoms, the leaves have appeared, but the birds are still landing on different trees from the ones I’m sitting on.
A: Interesting; why?
In Polish:
Hili: Kwiaty przekwitły, liście wyrosły, a ptaki dalej siadają na innych drzewach niż te, na których ja jestem.
Ja: Ciekawe dlaczego?

Because nature is red in tooth and claw. 😎
Warm here too – high of ~23C today. Weird fronts moving around too — I had an unexpected migraine yesterday and it’s hazy today.
So is the Hili tumbler dead? It hasn’t been updated since February.
We got lots of rain last night, pretty much unprecedented for May. Normally, this time of year, it’s regularly flirting with triple digits, but we’re looking at basically somewhere in the 80s for the midafternoon high all through the ten-day forecast.
And I am loving every minute of it. Doors wide open most of the time….
