That weather system they've been talking about on TV the last few days definitely arrived yesterday evening with its wind gusts. Today it has been more or less cloudy all day and the temperature has definitely dropped. It's already down to 55 this evening. It was chilly enough all day that I just didn't want to go to the pool for exercise... So I didn't.
We did go outside and put out our lights. We have a couple of strands of simulated barb wire ones -- that we got from the folks who made our barb wire heart at the Arabian Show last winter -- that we hung just below the windshield. We also put out our long ropes of lights that go along the sides of Auntie Violet. Besides looking nice, the light ropes are supposed to keep critters like pack rats and mice away...
Last year when we were in Albuquerque, we bought some little critter solar lights (birds and dragon flies) that we've had stored away in one of the basement compartments. Forry got them out
and put them in the pots of geraniums we bought at Costco last week. With our rung down and the lawn chairs out, it's beginning to look like we intend to be here for a while.
We still have to figure out how to mount my "gossips," the twirling crows. The ground is so hard, I'm not sure we could get it stuck in the ground. We may just get a board to drill some holes in to hold them.
