Thursdays #696 - mid-September already

[RICHARD]

Last week summer abruptly ended. Right now it's plus 2 degrees that's 35 for you Fahrenheit folks. We had a frost advisory so I brought the tomato and pepper plants inside. I've got the water on for tea if anyone else is chilly this morning.

Are you saying that we southerners can't handle the cold?

It has been pretty crazy this past couple of weeks, first it was hot - then we had the residual hurricane rain - that pushed the temps down to 65. I was wearing a tank and a shirt over that for that weather. Yesterday I was sweating and came to the realization that it was 85 degrees outdoors!

I'll take a glass......

Oh...a few days ago I stepped outdoors in the early evening and I could smell the fireplace somewhere in the neighborhood!

I'll get the Orc to chop up some firewood for us?

Done.

Those of us here are struggling with the abrupt change. It's a huge topic of conversation. One day it was 30 degrees the next it barely made 10 and has been like that since. It's 1 degree now. No nice easing to cooler temps.

As a runner, I love the cold temperatures.

Tea is on again and I see Orc has the fire ready to go.

Would you believe it's in the upper 80s F in Chicago today. I'm putting on a kettle of water for iced tea. It's hot out! I already started switching my closet from summer to fall clothes, whoops!
