The burning orb is hiding

[fufaraw]

It's cloudy, there's mirk wandering up the mountainside, it's not actually raining, not yet, anyway, but there's rain in the forecast. It is currently 64F, with a predicted high of 71F, and a low overnight of 51F.

For the last several weeks I've been wearing tee shirts so old and washed so thin you could read through them. Every fan we own has run nonstop, from early morning, when we pull cool air from the woods behind us into the house, push it through the house, and exhaust it out the front windows, until well after dark, when we've set all the fans to pull cool air in from outside.

Today? I am wearing *sleeves* and should someone come to the door or I have to run an errand, I am decent enough not to scare the horses, or small children. There's not a fan running in the house. It's positively *gloomy* outside today, and I want to go dance under the grey and lowering sky.

Friends, I left NC for the PNW for a reason. Today I have my PNW weather back, and welcome!

I think I might have something for dinner other than raw crudites and hummus, dark lettuce, cottage cheese, olives, boiled eggs/egg salad, fresh fruit, and popsicles.

Glad your heatwave broke :) I wish it would break here, too (though the heat isn't as bad as the stupid humidity, omg).

*hugs you*

New Jersey is made of sweat and humidity. You can wave a pitcher in the air and fill it. When we were in Seattle recently, we kept forgetting to drink water because it just didn't seem that hot(it was hot, but without the clinging air...)

Also, we were good guests and didn't laugh hysterically when our hosts complained of the horrible humidity.
