Hi Addy. It's only 8:45 here. I think I might go back to bed. I've only slept about 4 hours so far - one of those nights where I just couldn't fall asleep.

I'm not laughing. That sounds great. We had snow yesterday - in June! Our temps have been down to freezing every night for weeks now, but we are still getting much better weather than most of the nation. Today is supposed to be nice. With my free time lately, other than working on the house, I've been taking some really long walks - like 6 miles. I'm planning another one today. It should be very pleasant. :)

What part of USA are you from? Wow snow! With the way our weather is, it wouldn't surprise me if it snowed tomorrow! Enjoy your walk! 6 miles! :eek: I must take a leaf out of your book!

I live in Northern Nevada. Not to brag ;), but it's 6 miles in the foothills where I live. The elevation change in my walks is about 800 feet. I really enjoy it. I take my dog, listen to music, and chat with neighbors out walking their dogs. My favorite destination is the library, so I'm usually toting a couple of books back and forth. I've always loved going to the library.

23C? That's 73F... you don't need heat or air conditioning at that temp. That's basically the temp I'd LOVE to keep my house at year around. But it would cost an arm and a leg to keep it that warm in winter and that cool in summer. ( I keep them 69F in winter and 79F in summer)
It was 35C here most of the last week (95F). Was 38C last Sunday and Monday. (100F) where I live. Much cooler today however. Those were not average temps.
But yeah... we do have greater temp swings than you do. The mass of the North Atlantic does a lot for moderating those swings.

Wow - that's hot. We only get 2 months of warm weather generally - July and August, where the temps will reach 100 degrees sometimes. My favorite month is September. The weather is perfect and our community has something really special going on every weekend.

Yeah.. that was a small heat wave, above the average temps. A few towns here actually broke records by a small amount... But not the one I live in.
But its not unusual to hit that in July or August. Usually accompanied with very high humidity as well. We never get dry heat... its always a very humid heat.
I'm in the general area of Washington DC... and it was always historically a muggy place in summer.

We are very dry here. Even when I go to Los Angeles now (which isn't that humid), I feel the humidity. I just looked it up for fun. Our humidity runs around 20% for most of the year, 30% average with the winter months included. I actually had to get used to how dry it was when I first moved back. My skin wasn't liking it.
Well, it was nice visiting with everyone, but time to take my walk and get back to painting. Have a nice day!

Add 50% to those numbers for our average summer humidity. Meaning add 50.
But I have sympathy for Gulf Coast residents... they have it worse than us.

All I know is that here in Indiana the weather is unbearable at times. Sometimes it can be the coldest place in the U.S in the winter and near the hottest in the summer. This past Monday the humidity reached around 95% and the temperature was 93° so it felt really hot. Tomorrow it is supposed to be about that and I have to work outside all day tomorrow at work.

Hey guys and gals.
I am out in the sunshine having a lawn sale. I never have lawn sales. I usually give my stuff to the salvation army or thrift stores. I mean really who wants my junk, its junk. Woo haa $145 in less then an hour I am addicted.That was fast easy cash right there. All day today and tomorrow what can I end up with? Good I need it!
JLo I love hearing you read. I just got back in to reading now that my son is older. I love reading. I used to be in book clubs. They mail you selections every month. Dork I know.

Good for you. I had one garage sale one time. I didn't really enjoy it. I paid the boys across the street to sit out there for me. I think I made about $500 after their "wages", mostly because I was selling a sofa and love seat. The boys loved it. :)
I'm too cheap to buy books. Can't help it - I'm an accountant. I'm not going to buy something I can get for free from the library. Haha. I usually get 2-3 books at a time. One classic, one from a current popular author (like Grisham, Patterson, etc.), and often one on something I want to learn about - could be cooking, decorating, travel, etc. Right now I'm reading books related to my career change, but I bet you can guess what will be next up. :D

Sitting out here is OK with me. My sister in law is here and we are having some drinks. A lot of the neighbors have been over to look and visit. Its been sort of fun. After today though I am sending the rest to the thrift stores. I hate clutter so storing it all is out of the question.
I buy my books now at thrift stores and junk stores. I paid .25 each for these great books and just sold them for $1 each. How great was that!
