I forgot that you don't get all snowy and frigid like we do. Sounds as
if your temps are about the same as ours now, but normally we'd be
warmer. 60F this morning and fell to 44F by noon with a cold north
wind. Brrrr. Hmmmm, I'm thinking that your cold winds must be south
winds?
I already put on shorts for the season, and now my legs are cold when
outside.

I shall. Been distracted lately and busy trying to clean up the yard
and garden and get stuff planted.
I see that he is. Sounds as if it is becoming destructive. Weather
patterns are certainly different than they have been for the last
few...decades.

Same here. I've probably a dozen books partially read, stacks of
magazines and catalogs, I often get sleepy, fossicking thru the piles.

Coffee price has nearly doubled on the brand/style we drink. We are
now drinking more tea and less coffee. We are using loose tea and a
tea/coffee press. Started using the press for coffee too.
