You know you've been warped by Missouri weather...


... when the temperature drops below 90 and you feel like celebrating because it's so cool.

Yesterday we had a record-setting temperature (105 degrees) for the second day in a row, but it looks as though a reprieve is in sight. Today some winds gusted through the back yard around noon, leaving the temperature at a brisk 88 degrees.

Our lawn is brown and crunchy, but the blue flowers on the back porch seem to relish the warmth and sunlight.

Back when Keven was interviewing, I was all for abandoning February Wisconsin for February Florida or Arizona. Not so much now. I think we did ok. :)

Stay cool!
