Days Are Numbered

The weather has been hit or miss lately — sometimes it’s in the 20s at night and other days it’s crisp and cool and 60.  There’s a standing joke around here that if you don’t like what’s going on outside, wait 5 minutes — it’ll change. So, every time the weather is borderline warm we think “It’s the last nice day of the year!  We must enjoy it!” and then an embarrassingly short time later our predictions are foiled.

Today we just decided to enjoy it instead of playing meteorologist.

The whole gang ventured out.  Joe said “Come on out and blow the stink off ya.”  I think I’ve been dating my humidifier one day too long.

Miraculously, some trees are still green.

The dogs haven’t been on a trail run in a while.  They deserved one.

They are always very enthusiastic in showing their appreciation.

It looks like they are connecting this trail to the bigger park next door.  Very exciting!

Last swim of the season?  Who the heck knows.

The creek was so serene today.

    I know the feeling of the last nice day. About a week ago Hunni and I enjoyed a walk outside on a rain-less day thinking it would be the last one. Today was gorgeous alas we have been holed up in the house with the flu.

    It looks so nice out! It was in the 70s in KS today. Tomorrow I’ll be back in Ohio with the crazy weather. Although last week in CO we had that blizzard, then this week it was in the 70s all week. Strange.

    This weekend in Iowa was incredible and I got out a lot both days. I know what you mean about thinking it is the last nice day and I hope we have others. But to have an entire weekend…wow! Your creek did look serene and the dogs were happy.

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
