Riding the temperature roller coaster aka “battle of the season”.

Lo was 28 on Tuesday and had a high of 78 today...strong cold front later tonight so weekend will see daytime highs in the mid 40’s!

[luvie]

Nighty-night, E🐦‍⬛! Sweet dreams! 💤🛌

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Ready for your cool-down tomorrow? I imagine the kitties are.

[radu]

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

I am soooo ready! It got up to 94 today. Not good when it’s not July! We’ll have some blowing dust when the front comes through, but at least in the dark I can’t SEE it. LOL! The kitties won’t like the wind part, but I think they’ll be happy with the cooler temp.

How was your day? Warmer? Cooler?
