Brrrrr!

When I wrote about this, I knew it would be just a teaser for autumn. But now, the either the real thing has arrived, or Mother Nature's playing a practical joke on us.

Yesterday it rained all day and was in the fifties most of the day. It was 57 in our bedroom both when I went to bed and when I woke up. Reeda would fuss every time I put her down because her bed was too cold, so she ended up sleeping with a hot water bottle. It was also one of the first nights that Happy Boy actually slept with the covers on instead of kicking them off. And today when my husband went to work it was only 45.

Yesterday was the first day my husband made hot chocolate. We also had chili and cornbread. I am looking forward to having many more soups, stews, and crockpot meals now that the weather is cooperative.
