Chilly Mornings

At 6am I got up to let Sadie outside; when I opened the door, I chuckled to myself, all I could hear was a symphony of heaters running!  It's only 30 degrees, which is quite cold for the desert!  We usually get our freeze nights in January, but they are here early this year  I wonder if that is a sign of a rough winter ahead, or even if it gives clues about our summer temps?  I wonder if the Farmer's Almanac would tell me??

Interesting!   

DECEMBER 2013: temperature 45° (3° below avg.); precipitation 0.3" (0.2" below avg.); Dec 1-9: Sunny; cold, then mild; Dec 10-17: Rain and snow showers, cold; Dec 18-24: Rain and snow, then sunny, cold; Dec 25-31: Sunny, turning mild.

So far, its totally correct for Dec 1-9 !!!!!

Jan 1-5: Sunny, cool; Jan 6-10: Showers, then sunny, mild; Jan 11-21: Sunny east, showers west; mild; Jan 22-28: Sunny, cool; Jan 29-31: Showers, chilly.


Well.  I am thinking I outta be purchasing a few more long sleeved shirts for working in!

After getting up, I snuggled back under the covers.  It's a chilly day, and that makes me want to just stay under the covers, read a good story, or maybe watch a movie!

I finished a book called The Christmas Note, good story about a girl raised by her alcoholic mother who learns upon her mother's death that she has siblings who were adopted.  She breaks out of her shell with the help of a new next door neighbor in order to find the lost siblings, and ends up finding herself as well.  Enjoyed the book, its an easy read with an uplifting hopeful story line. 

Happy weekend, everyone :)
