After one last summery blast (it reached 103°F on Tuesday), Fall weather has finally arrived! Wednesday morning brought a cold front, which gave us some lovely cool temperatures and much-needed rain. We had a couple of days of gloomy weather, which I loved. Cloudy days are some of my favorite days, especially when it involves … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 25, 2022

We're supposed to get another few hot days before the temperature drops again, hopefully for the season. I'm done with the hot weather.

August Summary, September Preview
August was an up-and-down sort of month. It was horribly hot in the first part of the month, then cooled off a little for a couple of weeks before the heat came back and chased me inside.
