Careful what you wish for....

After one of those afternoons (got lost in west Austin. Decided to just enjoy myself until something looked familiar. Fortunately didn't have to be anywhere until 7 pm. Made all but the last stop.) I returned home by 8 pm and noticed it was much windier than I expected. I'd thought my feet were cold (sandals -- standard here until end of November) because the A/C at the new Wheatsville was cranked.

Uh-uh. Got out to pick up mail and it was COLD.

So -- home for dinner, watch the Netflix so I could walk it back up afterward (a 20 minute mile, just right.) Just checked the weather. 51 degrees out there.

The good thing is, the four Xmas cactus will start setting buds! The bad thing is -- I don't think I'm ready for that yet. Instead of the sweatshirt, it would be gloves and heavy jacket. So...maybe I just keep working and walk it up early tomorrow?

I've been looking forward to walking weather. I sure hope we don't just jump from deep summer to winter. Both parts of the country I might live in are bizarre this year. Just need to decide whether I want to be inside for three months of heat, or inside for 4-5 months of cold.

And -- an aside -- I find it interesting that sometimes the fields below suggest things to me, and other times it's as if I've wiped every form field.
