Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 2020

September 13, 2020September 12, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 15 Comments

I mentioned temperature jumps last week, and we got them this week. On Sunday, it reached 93°F (34°C), and on Tuesday, our high was 45°F (7°C). It wasn't quite as dramatic of a jump as they had in Denver, where it reached 101°F on Sunday, and was snowing by Tuesday, but it was still a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: September 6, 2020

September 6, 2020September 6, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 9 Comments

After a cold and wet spring that turned into a hot dry summer overnight, I had forgotten that Nebraska enjoys temperature jumps during transitional seasons, so one day it will be 92, and the next it will be 77. The closer we get to the autumnal equinox, the wackier the temperature jumps will be. Today, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 6, 2020

August Summary, September Preview

September 3, 2020September 3, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 7 Comments

So it's September. Instead of wondering where summer went, I'm going to wish that lousy hot season a not-so-fond farewell and turn to face Fall and the cooler temperatures that make it easier for me to do things like sleep, think, and go hiking.

Sunday Sum-Up: August 30, 2020

August 30, 2020August 30, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 12 Comments

The National Weather Service is considering adjusting the system of warnings, watches, advisories, and statements it uses on the weather map on its website. I hope the go through with this because when you're checking the weather (which I do often, because Nebraska weather changes every ten minutes) and you see an orange advisory for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 30, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: August 16, 2020

August 16, 2020August 15, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 23 Comments

A few things from the week: On my day off, I drove all the way down to the botanical garden to photograph the flowers and whatnot, only to get there, have a lovely shot lined up, and then realize that my camera had no memory cards in it, and I had left my regular camera … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 16, 2020

July Summary, August Preview

August 5, 2020August 10, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

The hottest part of the year has passed, and I couldn't be happier about it. I am a cool weather person, and those hot and humid days basically shut down my brain. I dread summer every year. But it's going to be over soon! Hooray! I read nine books in July. I figured I would … Continue reading July Summary, August Preview

Sunday Sum-Up: August 2, 2020

August 2, 2020August 1, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 16 Comments

Another week has gone, and I'm bidding it good riddance. Mostly. Work was crazy busy again, but the weather was great. It has cooled off far more than I expected it to, and we're expecting lows in the 50ºF (10ºC) range. That's practically autumnal! It's been great to shut off the air conditioner, have the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 2, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: July 12, 2020

July 12, 2020July 12, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 14 Comments

Can we be done with summer now? Because I want to be done with summer. For most of the week, we were dealing with a heatwave. That broke on Thursday night when a line of thunderstorms moved through with such high winds that a lot of trees-- including half of the one in front of … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 12, 2020

June Summary, July Preview

July 2, 2020July 1, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 16 Comments

We have now reached my least favorite time of year, and it will continue to be my least favorite time of year until September. Heat is bad enough. Add high humidity into the mix, and it's even worse. Hooray for air conditioning, fans, and iced beverages. Anyway. I didn't finish as many books in June … Continue reading June Summary, July Preview

Sunday Sum-Up: June 28, 2020

June 28, 2020June 27, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 11 Comments

So I've had a good week. Nothing mind-blowingly happy happened, but nothing horrible happened, either, and I got a lot of things done on my day off. Work was busy, but not so busy I wanted to scream (although as soon as you notice that a few of the light bulbs have gone out, it's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 28, 2020
