Seems like May and summer arrived together this weekend. It's a big week with May Day today, the Orinda Restaurant Tour Tuesday evening, and Cinco de Mayo perfectly scheduled on Friday. Woo hoo! So, spend some time outside this week and celebrate the return of shorts weather, happy gardens, and, oh joy, soon it will be time for weed abatement.
