Smell the rain… but it’s not here yet. Soon hopefully. It was and muggy all night but the clouds from Lidia finally arrived. If we’re lucky we’ll get some good downpours, and in the hills too. They really need to be wet to keep down the usual fall fires.
Lordy, I sure hope klys and Mr. klys made it through the heat in Pleasanton yesterday. Crikeys!! And in wool!
I’d say ‘it barely cooled down last night’, but who am I kidding? The overnight low was 35 degrees cooler!
The last two days, The Boys, the dogs, and I* hunkered down in the house, which I shut up at first light after having open all night to cool. The Older Boy had to work, but now that he’s Meat Boy, he gets to work in the coldest part of the store!
By 7 PM, it had cooled down to 95 out, and warmed up to about the same indoors. So, every window open all the fans blowing. An hour later, it was cooler outside than in. It was almost pleasant!
Then I went to pick The Older Boy up from work, and made the mistake of running the AC in the car. Got home, and the 85 degrees that had felt so blessedly cool was oppressive again!
*Where, in all this narrative, is Mrs. FBW, you may ask? She and her ‘Wild Women’ buds were over in Half Moon Bay, an impromptu Wild Women Weekend for one of them whose dog had to be put to sleep. So, while we were suffering 106 degree temps two days running, I believe the temp there briefly almost reached 90. She’d said she would probably come back on Saturday. Nope. Not that I blame her. I wish I had as good an excuse!
