alexpgpWhen I got up yesterday morning, the outside air temperature was 33°F, just a tad above freezing. During the day, the wind blew, but not as much as it did Monday, when it blew so hard and so long that, when I went upstairs to cook dinner, I noticed that the mountains were all but obscured in a giant cloud of dust. Almost as if Providence was using a second-rate vacuum cleaner (and not one of those spiffy new models by Oreck or Dyson).
This morning, after a refreshing night's sleep (the first one for several days, but I'll stop before I devolve into a mode I have sworn to avoid...), I got up, stretched, and pulled up the blinds. The mountains were obscured again.
I almost went back to sleep.
Then again, with weather like this, the date of the annual Forest Service ukase banning campfires in the woods ought to get pushed back a bit.
Yes, another few winks would be nice, but no! Work calls, with its myriad attractive (and not-so-attractive) tentacles.
Cheers...

Date: 2011-05-11 11:59 pm (UTC)It's cold down here too - the winter is almost upon us. Single digits at night, 13-15C during the day. I'm firing up the wood heater at lunchtime, as the house is not terribly well insulated (and I have a habit of airing it out in the mornings), and it's impossible to sit still for a long period of time in this cold. Looking forward to morning frosts :)
