Kind of a cold and dreary day, like so many out camping last summer. :?I can’t control the weather, only my attitude to it. I guess I will have to turn it in he lights on when I get to the office. Today I a shirt and jacket👔 ready to go to Assemblyman Skartados viewing after work.
While the days of recent have only warmed up a bit, I’ve been watching the average temperature increase slowly but surely.🌻 But it seems like winter doesn’t want to kick the bucket full of icy slop. At least things aren’t excessively dry. 🔥The weather pattern could change and it get warm and dry fast but for now I’m not seeing it happening any time soon.
Looking ahead, there are 31 weeks until Thanksgiving 🦃 when the sun will be setting at 4:27 pm with dusk at 4:57 pm (Standard Time).
