The Honeymoon is over


68 degrees at eleven last night, 45 at six this morning, and 32 degrees by nine with winds in the 35-40 mph range with gusts over 60. I took the propellor off the windmill so it wouldn't tear itself apart, then retired to the computer with a fresh cup of coffee.

Strange how fast it can change.

Since our daughter was working we took our grand-daughter into town yesterday evening for pizza. I wore a short sleeved shirt and was completely comfortable. Because of the pizza ovens they had the air conditioner running at the pizza joint. One of those little treasures I was delighted to find locally. It's a private owned restaurant that makes the best pizza I've had in more than 30 years. I prefer thin crust, and they make them a bit differently than most places. They put the sauce on the crust, spread the ingredients on that, then cover the whole thing with cheese. Lots of cheese. We had pepperoni and mushroom and ate until we knew we'd had at least one slice too many. Like most Americans I'm spoiled. I love it.

Yeah, that wind has hit the east side of the Commonwealth today and the neighbor's maple leaves are now all over our patio and piled up against the back steps. A nice neighbor, but still he has never raked or blown a leaf in the many years we've lived next to each other. Grrrr...

AGT, sounds like he's figured it out pretty well. If he leaves the leaves nature will give them to his neighbor as a gift.

The wind hit here too, and there are leaves everywhere, including our pool! It also dropped from the 70's to the 30's in record time. Darn, Fish; global warming is so cold! ;)
