FRIGID

We are under a deep trough of cool air off the Pacific and, as a result, it has suddenly turned frigid.

I know that this is hard for back east people to understand but cold, here, means anything under 70 degrees.

John says that is the 'freezing point'.

I think he means the he freezes.

Last night we had to limit the doors open to three. It hit 67.

They predict that night temps could go down to 63 this week. Days will be in the 90s. Today we only hit 100.

We did turn the air on today, more out of habit, but off at about 5 PM. Normally the hottest time just before sunset.

We will eat our dinner outside for the first time. I washed all the chairs and tables today in preparation.

It is welcome, the cooler air.

We had a mild summer until the last three weeks and then it kicked our ass with prolonged heat and humidity. Just like fucking Florida!

The light is about right now too for the roses to start coming back. The cool will help them.

In the heat they bloom and sort of shrivel.

See? We have seasons too!
