Morning Stripe

morning sunrise
Good morning!

It’s the first day of fall around here and the auburn-bordering-on-coral daybreak stripe seems to proclaim the change – with delight!

However, not everyone is welcoming the 48 degree temps this morning. There are two grumbly bears (hubby and pooch) who are mock shivering and fussing. Seriously? Cream puffs, I say, cream puffs. 😉

Me? I know I’ve said this before, but comfy apparel-wise, nothing beats a well-worn sweatshirt and jean shorts…ahh…on a day like this one.

It’ll warm to the 70’s later which means today’s weather bridges the best of summer (not too hot, definitely not humid) with the first taste of brisk breezes to follow (minus the snow that will come…sigh).

Wherever you are today and whatever the weather, from me to you, take care!

-Vicki ❤

    🙂 Count your blessings, Victoria. Your weather is still lovely (You should remind those two bears about that).

    Here in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, we are expecting a thunderstorm.

    By the way, it is the hurricane season in the Caribbean.

      Thank you so much for that perspective, Renard. I was talking with a friend last night about the devastation in Puerto Rico. I am grateful, indeed, for our calm weather. Sending wishes for safety to all who may be in the path of nature’s fury…including YOU. 😊

    Last night at 6:00 p.m. it was 93ºF outside. By tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. the predicted temp will be 47ºF. I love autumn, but am feeling a bit of weather whiplash coming on. Gradual is a nice way to ease into fall.

    Cream puffs. 😆

    The sky is beautiful, and so glad you’re able to enjoy the mild weather! This is one of my favorite times of year, when it’s not too “anything.” 🤍

    It’s still in the 90s-100s in Phoenix, but I’ve already (enthusiastically!) unpacked my winter sweaters and am counting down the days… I, too, am a jean shorts and sweatshirt kinda gal. 😊 Enjoy the lovely fall weather!! 🍂

    Love Autumn too. “I know I’ve said this before, but comfy apparel-wise, nothing beats a well-worn sweatshirt and jean shorts…ahh…on a day like this one.” I can’t agree more. I think that’s why I’ve enjoyed remote work, I love sweatshirt and shorts weather. At home, I get to wear them more. Maybe not the sweatshirt, but still a nice shirt or sweater and the shorts. The leaves will start to turn soon, the temps will have a chill, but certainly nothing too cold. Love this time of year.

      Thanks, Brian! Yes to shorts — as you said, remote work really made some preferences clear. Comfy is everything. 😉
