A Lovely Day!

There's a huge front/rain system headed our way from the west. We're not supposed to get much, if any, rain out of it, though. That's not unusual. Frontal systems hit the Cumberland Plateau and mountains west of us and to what the weather folks call "The Chattanooga Split". The fronts will divide and slip north and/or south of us. It does happen a lot - you can watch it on the radar.

We tied a record low of 60 last night. We ate out on the porch again tonight, with the ceiling fan turned on - temperature about 82 - it was quite comfortable. I broiled some grouper filets, and they were SO good!

John and I both worked at the library for about an hour today, "deprocessing" books. As I've said, these are books that are being discarded by the library for one reason or another, and will be available at the upcoming book sale at the end of August. What we do is scut-work. The skilled workers sort those book into subject matter to get it ready to be taken to the book sale.

Today's photo is of a sea turtle nest in front of the house next door to ours. It's so great that the turtles are returning to the Fort Morgan area to lay their eggs.

Your 'gubbins" on the right side of the blog page is telling me that at 8.00am is only 19C for you.

We've just had 4 days of dry winds from the north. Wellington got up to 15C! My excuse for a lawn didn't squelch when I've walked across it for the past two days.

Thursday = gale fore winds and rain from the north. The other half of the wind direction we've lacked so far this Winter. Heavy rain and strong wind warnings issued - don't need to head out so will stay inside with Zebby.

Hope your cooler temps and new medication help your skin to become calmer. My dear Mum had pretty the same a few years back. Check out via my blogid profile for my email address. Some of the things Mum did may help you, should you wish to know.....just give the shawl details as an "it's you" confirmation

caring love and cooling huggles, Michelle xxxx
