Welcome to the first day of summer. It’s the summer solstice, and the mercury hit 96º F here in Boston today. With a dew point of 69º F, that translates to a heat index of 101º F. My wife and I had to get out and about in it. I kind of like the weather. I like cold winters, springs filled with new budding leaves and flowers, steamy hot summers and frosty falls with all the colors in the trees. Do you love the weather, or rail against it? Do you get out and muck around in the summer heat? What are your mucking plans for the muggy days of summer, 2012?
