Good evening. Another busy day here. A surveyor working with a pipeline company in my pasture and at the river behind my house showed up on his "mule" (recreation vehicle but also used for work situations in rough conditions). He stopped and we had a little visit out in front of my house. He's a very nice guy. Lives 3 hrs. away.
I'd had nearly 3" of rain yesterday/overnight but a lot of it soaked up because of how dry it was, and my niece got only half that much, so she wanted to get her car back home where she could park it under a shed, in case of more hail. Also, she'd gotten a call that the tractor's mower rods we'd taken to a machine shop on Monday were ready so we went to get them, after I drove my truck to her house and got her. It seemed it would be dry enough for her to make it back to her house in her car by the time we got back from town so I guess she made it. The sun was out all morning, it got to 93*, was humid, smothery. By the time we got home the clouds were building. Glad we got everything done, since rain is in the forecast for the next couple of days.
Poirot, I hope you had a good visit and lunch with your friend. I'm sorry about your husband's confusion. I hope they find a good place where he can get the care he needs.
Lil0, low temperature is not something we're used to hearing. I hope your medical team can figure out the problem and will have help to offer in getting it straightened out.
Manda, I wish your step-dad an uncomplicated recovery. Hope you have a good dinner. You could always let Gena pick.
Kat, it sounds like we weren't the only ones with hot, humid weather today. Wet hair is no fun. I hope you've had a good, restful afternoon for your studies.
Squirrel, a crisp fall morning always sounds pleasant. Yesterday I saw some trees with ugly brown leaves and I wondered why people in this part of the country would ever think fall is pretty. I was remembering Pennsylvania and the fall beauty there.
Robin, it's sad to hear about your former president's wife. As for fall temperatures, it's all about perspective. Highs of 92* and lows of 70s* seem pretty good after a summer in the desert.
Poirot, your thing about Texas and the seasons is about right. Right now it's hard to decide what to wear when I go out in the mornings. Thank goodness for air conditioners in cars. They get used with some frequency even during the winter, at times.
