They said the April heat-wave would last two days- and it's lasted three already. All the things that might be expected to break into leaf and flower at this time of the year are in the process of doing so. My mother and I sat out on the patio yesterday afternoon and it was uncomfortably hot so today we sat at the front of the house where there is shade. According to the weather watchers yesterday was the hottest April day since 1949.
