Last June Gloom

I'm discovering there are a few folks out there who, like myself, love June Gloom. The weather people always shake their heads at it, but I love it. This is how it goes in So. Cal every year: Sometime in April or May we get a couple of really warm days (last year we had 103 and 107--ironically the two days we were moving), just to scare us into realizing that summer is coming. Then May Grey/June Gloom settles in, and it's like a reprieve of cool, quiet weather. I especially like it because it follows the bustle of the end of the year here at school, and the campus is quiet, too. I think today will be our last June Gloom for the year, as it's been getting warmer and warmer lately. So goodbye clouds, hello scorching sun.
