We have been enjoying the wonderfully cooler weather this week. But it looks like Friday we will be on the rise to the low 90's for the daytime highs for another several weeks. The night time temps will still be in the 60's. Around the second week of November it looks to be the temps will be back to the more pleasant temps of the 70's during the day. I've enjoyed wearing long pants and having the doors and windows open. Last night we even put a quilt on the bed. This morning when I got up it was 61º outside and 74º inside. Good sleeping weather. 😃
Along with the more desirable temps comes great days for drying blankets, curtains and bedspreads on the lines. Just like I did in the springtime in MN. Mark washed the outside down with the garden hose and I washed the windows that aren't covered with sunscreens. The porch is all organized for sitting pleasure. Lola has kind of forgotten that she can go in and out as she pleases or she would just rather stay inside. Silly dog.
Mark is working hard to save up money for our trips back to MN. One is for our sons wedding this spring and God only knows when the other trip will be. Mark has always been a hard worker, good provider and loving husband. And even in his retirement he sees to it that we have what we need.
Soon our friends and family back home will be going off of daylight saving time. The two hour time difference makes it hard to stay in direct contact with family and friends. One hour will make a big difference on when to chat and call. Arizona has no daylight saving time. Why would the sunniest place on earth want more sunshine to heat up the day? Once the sun goes down now the temp really drops and the sun is setting much earlier every day. By 6:30 now it's dark! Being dark early means I have to walk Lola in the dark for her evening jaunt. But I have a flashlight, gun, and phone. Soon all our neighbors will be back and this place will be jumping which will make the walk more relaxed. By 10 they do respectfully quiet down in this park.
Off to get my morning chores done. Have a wonderful Wednesday. God bless
y'all.🙏
