WEATHER!!!!!!!!!

The Weather here is nuts!
Last week it was in the 100's
Sunday we had two huge thunder storms
which turned the weather cool and even cold at night.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
lovely nice weather (no humidity), great to be out in.
Thursday 95 degrees with humidity.
Friday 110 degrees and high humidity, we were dying.
We could not even get cool enough sitting in front of the air conditioner.
A wet towel and a fan makes it possible to sleep.
Saturday 100 and lower humidity, Saturday evening wind, rain and cool, cool, cool.
Oh so wonderful rain, wind, and cool, cool, cool.
What a good night sleep we will get tonight!
Thank you Heavenly Father!

Weather

The weather here has been CRAZY!
Yesterday it was hot and muggy then by 5.00 PM we had rain,
with the sun out full force.
By 8.00PM all the fans and windows were open, we were dieing of sweat and heat.
About 9.30 PM all heck and high water broke loose.
The rain started coming down in buckets and more buckets.
It sounded so good and started cooling things off, then it really hit.
LIGHTENING, THUNDER
like I've only experienced once before.
Grandma Terrill, Amy, Karen, Heather and I
were camping in the Utah mountains. It was so loud and so on top of us
it was a storm to scare a person to death.
Never before or since, until last night have I been in a storm like that.
I would see the lightening and then the thunder right after.
The storm was all on top of us, some times it would shake the flat.
It went on for over an hour.
It was wonderful sleeping last night, cool.
Today cool, cloudy.
Sunday it was very HOT almost 100 degrees, (here 38 c) also Monday.
It is supposed to be cool for a few more days and then who knows what?
I keep putting my winter clothes away and then I have to get them out again.
I finally took the flannel sheet off the bed and now it is cool.
I broke out my summer clothes and wear them it seems, every other day.
We love the cool not cold, warm not hot. How picky are we anyway.

Dust Storms

Dirt Storm

Last Tuesday we had wind all day then that night we had a thunder storm with lots of rain. Wednesday we woke up to red skies, huge winds and then it was orange the rest of the day. It was wind and dirt all day. The wind brought over tons and tons of dirt from the outback. We did not need all the dirt and the farmers out West sure do, they will miss it as it is their good top soil.
We spent the day trying not to be blown away. We had some appointments so we had to go out in the mess. Everything is covered in red dirt. Thursday it was nice then Friday came and here was another dirt storm. It was only orange most of the day, not as bad. By afternoon it cleared up, the wind, not the dirt. Vacuum, dust, wash down and it is still dirty. Today Sunday the wind blew and blew reminds me of the Santa Ana's in So. Cal.
