Got your warm socks on?
It's chilly here.

[beachn4fun]

Hey du. We passed each other in our posts.

Yeah, gotta dig out the winter walking clothes and warmer socks.

You got yours on?

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

Nice that you’re having some decent Fall weather. Enjoy it while you can! LOL
Been pretty nice here, too, though the nights are pretty nippy. Bright sunshine warms things up pretty fast.

[luvie]

Howdy Early Bird!
You're very welcome.
the week is going well...and fast.
It was 85° today. *sigh*

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

I’m seeing rain on the radar. Please tell me it isn’t lying this time. Looks good and you NEED it.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

...and beachy. It’s fixin’ ta rain here. I’m so excited. And the temp has dropped from 85 this afternoon to 63 right now. Of course, hubby started watering the yard today. Our luck. LOL!

I’m kinda glad we’re not in the 30s yet. Waaaaay too early for that!🥶

[beachn4fun]

87?

WOW. We got to 67 today.
Tomorrow 60
Monday maybe 56

[beachn4fun]

WOOHOO you getting rain! And what a temp change.

[luvie]

We all seem to be stepping all over each other to post tonight. LOL!

The rain is right at out back doorstep. No wet stuff yet, but it’s very close.

[radu]

BRRRRR! Having to bundle up kinda takes the fun out of the walks. At least it isn’t snowing - - yet.
Is there a place you can walk inside when the weather craps out?

Not cold enough for the socks just yet. I’m still in flip flops in the house and if I go out in the afternoon. I did have to wear shoes and a jacket when I left for a meeting this morning but by the time it was over, it was REALLY nice outside.
