    It's that time of year, again!

    So I woke up this morning, fixed my usual cuppajoe and sat down to read the news. I checked the weather for my area and WOOWEEE it's 48*F outside.

    So, I stand on my backporch with my coffee steaming away in my underpants. Lights off, of course (for the neighbors).

    I'm so glad it's cooling off. I like summer time because it means I can work in the garden, but man do I hate sweating just walking to check the mail. Cold weather yeeeehaaa!

    Anyway. Looking forward to getting some good, cool weather tests on my yeti and no snivler quilts.

    34* this morning, opening day of bow hunting. Frost advisories. Time to break out the warm gear. She's gonna be a chilly one.

    Yep, guess I'm going to have to break out the ol long pants for work this morn
    But I'm glad to see it too!!! I can dress for the coolness, but can only do so much when it's hot.
    And I LOVE camping w/ the hammock in cold weather, breathing that nice, cool air while I'm all toasty warm
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    Oh man... it's gonna take days for the image of steaming underwear to leave my mind. I usually hold my coffee cup in my hands... but whatever works.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
