Just as I predicted by Saturday evening around 6pm a breeze started blowing and cooling everything off. I was invited to a BBQ and was surprised when I opened the door to leave to find the air an obvious 10 degrees cooler than it was just an hour or so before. I took Madison to the BBQ, which actually turned out to be a potluck. The hostess said she'd BBQ hotdogs and any other meat that you wanted to bring - like that was going to happen! She's a great person but all of us know that she's no cook. I can't imagine anyone of us buying a steak for her to ruin on the grill. Besides, I didn't even see a grill on the patio! The hotdogs that she served were BOILED! ha!! Regardless, we had a great time talking about the fun we had in the 70's when we were all very young. This is the same group of folks that I ran around with back then. We've known each other for a good 30 years and have shared some wonderful times together, and we remain close to this day. By the time darkness fell the temperature had cooled off to about 75 degrees with a nice hefty breeze. Madison had a good time too, and after I dropped her off home around 10pm I headed homeward to my girls. I was kind of bothered leaving them there in that hot house although the ceiling fans were on so I knew they's stay relatively cool. Let me tell you, when I opened up that door from being outside in the really cool air, that hot house hit me in the face like I'd opened an oven door! The girls didn't seem bothered by it, but I let them outside and then hurriedly threw open every window and let that cool breeze waft through each room and push the hot air out. I didn't even sleep with a fan on that night it was so cool! What a relief!
Yesterday it was in the mid 80's with a breeze and was a perfect day for me to mow the lawn and do other odd jobs outside. I spread another couple wheelbarrows full of barkdust under the treehouse, planted a new flower, watered the lawn really good and called it a day.
Hope your weekend was great and full of blessings!

Kids never seem to feel the weather the way adults do. If it's too hot, they like it. If it's too cold, they like it. LOL! I guess it's part of being young.
