Since I came to Minnesota, everyone I met, even strangers having a news, sports, weather conversation said this: “This is Minnesota, if you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.”
Last week Thursday, we were still in shorts and sleeveless/short sleeves in 80 to mid 80s Fahrenheit temps . On Friday, we are wearing long sleeves, sweatpants/shirts. The temp on Friday was 64F for the high. The temperature is still dropping as I’m writing this. Because of the cold front from Canada, Minnesota is feeling the cold arctic breeze. Aaahhh, Uncle Lee, you sent some cool Canadian air to the Midwest. Very thoughtful of you
I really like this cool days and nights. The skeeters are disappearing. I can’t wait for the first hard frost, then the bugs will definitely be gone.
Fall is not officially here yet, but last weekend and so far this week we are feeling it. I kept telling myself to bring the camera with me on my evening walks with the boys, hah, I forgot again and again.
The boys are loving this cool weather, too. Less panting and they can walk forever! I shouldn’t complain since that is the only form of exercise I am into now. Too lazy to work out on the elliptical or the Bowflex.
DB is thinking of turning the heat on tonight. The weather channel says the temps in the cities will drop to the mid 30s Fahrenheit, I said it’s too early in the year to turn the heat up. Poor guy, everyday since last week he kept telling me “We have to move to Texas or somewhere where it’s warmer in the winter.” o.O Yikes for me!
