Here in the Central Highlands of Arizona the mercury is forecast by the Weather Gods to rise to 86 today.
Monday will be the first day in the low 90's, the W.G. claim.
Evenso, summer is not said to actually begin until the June Solstice which occurs this year on the 21st, still 15 days away.
But our backyard Sun Faces are greeting the morning rays with a bemused smile.
And the sky, accented by puffy white clouds, is a blaze of blue.
Today is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, marking
the time in 1944 when Allied forces including the United States of America landed in Normandy to begin to put an end to Adolph Hitler's dream of world domination.
On a personal note it is the 115th anniversary of my mother's birth in 1904.
Regrettably she died in 1953, only 49 years old.
And on a truly personal note it marks the date when Judy and I crossed the border into Mexico in 1987 to begin a four-plus year adventure south of the border.
A lot has changed in the intervening years.
