Wondering about the crazy weather.

Living here in the Piney Woods of East Texas, we are not too far from the Gulf and we have hot, humid summers.  So, when I got up yesterday I couldn't believe how nice and cool it felt.  How cool was it?  Well, it wasn't THAT cool but with the dry air, which we seldom have, and the cool front blowing in, it was a pleasant relief, if only for a few hours in the morning.  It later got back up in the 90's.  But for short time, a very short time, it was nice and cool.  Don't believe me?  Well take a look at the picture I took and see for your self:


Yep, I got up to a cool 64 degrees and it sure did feel good.  What made it feel even better was that there was also a light breeze blowing.  I sure hope your day was good, too.  But for today, try to have a really good day, you hear?

  2. If only we could be blessed with your cool weather, we would have a gorgeous summer each year. Not too long ago I had the central heating on. But this week we are supposed to have a hot one. Can't wait. Enjoy the rest of your week.

  3. It's amazing how much better you feel with a break in the heat and humiditty, still pretty soggy here in VA. The mosquitoes have started wearing life preservers and the mold is taking over everything.

    1. I guess our normal weather moved over to Virginia. I thought you would have commented on my 08-17-13 blog posting.

  5. Even here on the far south side of Houston, the humidity has dropped to 65%. I sure wish it would cool down just a tad during the day!

    Right now it's only 92 on my patio (2:00pm), so that's not too bad!

    1. Not sure but it is way too much. Sure glad I got mine many years ago. Of course I am on the "wrong" side of town. The prices are sky high on the lake side of town. Check on line at a real estate sales web sitie.

  7. We finally got some of that cool weather, too.... until at least 9am or so ;-) Really, though, it sure makes for a good night's sleep!
