BRRRRRRRRRR

My phone greets me with the news that it's 68 degrees outside. I look at my outfit and I start to shiver.  Possibly it's time to retire my sleeveless tank tops.

There was a little red exclamation point sitting beside the temperature notification, just begging me to click it.  I'm delighted even further - there's a freeze warning tonight.

It's a damn good thing we turned off the pool heater.  Today's temperatures look to be heading downward, with an overnight low hovering in the low 40's.  

I need to have a talk with the weather gods..... this is not Indiana, this is Tucson.  We don't do freeze warnings until after Thanksgiving, thank you very much.

I found a smile in the fact that I'd uncovered the shade cloth and other coverings this weekend; my still to be planted rock roses will need comfort and succor for the next few nights.  

Tomorrow's high is 59.

I know that if you are sitting inside watching snowflakes cover your patio, this seems like a very small thing.  But for me, right now, it just says winter is coming.........

VOTE - someone in charge needs to believe in climate change.

  1. I'm wearing long pants in the house. I hate that, and my nose is cold. The bougainvilleas survived last night unscathed, so that was good. That was an abrupt change out of the prevailing air mass.

    1. One day I'm swimming, the next I'm covering the roses!
