A great way to get a midtone reading that will render a good overall exposure of the scene at hand is to use an 18% grey card. What you say you don't have one handy, no problem just taking a reading off your open palm facing the light source, then open up roughly one stop, then shoot! Skin tones do vary but rarely make more than a one stop difference in the setting.
Enjoy your spring like day and Get out and shoot a spring time scene.
