That time of year

The tulips and azaleas are peaking and the Bradford pears are not far behind. Hawthorns are blooming, crabapples are budding, hostas are leafing, and I expect to see irises before too much longer. Spring is icumen in!

Unfortunately, while admiring all those I got myself my first sunburn of the year, and I can tell from the tightness in my face it's a bad one. Also, temperatures and humidity are already approaching summertime levels.

And there's another way in which it's like a taste of summer early: The Cubs are a game-and-a-half out of first place. (No need to mention the team which just put them there, I trust.) Suck it, bleacher bums!
