39. Near Mid-Spring through the rest of Spring. The Best of Summer (will explain)

Thu Sep 4, 2025, 12:32 AM

Sep 2025

My B-d is 3/21. It's usually the first partial to full day of Spring.
But it took me years to realize that in NYC it wouldn't begin to look like Spring untill about the second or so week of April when little bright spring-green tree leaves started coming out.
Then, the succession of beautiful colorful flowers! Flowering crab apples, and cherry trees!
(am I enthusiastic enough for you?! 😉 )

The best of Summer for me is low humidty, and around 78°F - 83°F being outside. It only happens part of the time. And I need some A/C even w this, especially at night indoors.
Then there are the humid days even at like 75°f°-85f°f. Yuck . I can take a dry 90°f - 91°fonce in while. Anything higher, and more humid - blah.
