For Those Who Live In Hot Climates - Labor Day and Fall Are Coming!!!!!!!!

[P-Nut Mom]

We had a touch of fall and now it's going back into the 80s. I enjoyed a chillier few days!! Poor Pickles, he was a shivery mess when it got into the mid 60s. I had to keep a shirt and jacket on him, otherwise he refused to potty when I took him outside.

Yup, I've been putting shirts back on the furbutts. First just a tee, but it was still too cold. Now they got double layers on. Tee and hoodie. Just like mommy.

56 degrees now and cool, pleasant in the house. No A-C, no fans, no motors of any kind running except the frig out in the kitchen!

It's been a roller coaster ride here - we actually had to turn the heat on in the morning one day last week - it was in the 40s - then the AC later in the day as it reached almost 90. That's a first for us. I don't know what to do - put shirts on the boys, wear a sweater myself or break out swim suits for all!

Tee and hoodie sounds pretty good! I was there last month, it was perfect! Mid eighties. It's usually 20 degrees hotter when we go to Vegas - first week of October every year for a conference.

Hi Jeanie,
It's Sandy. I do not know how to send a new thread to everyone so maybe you can pass this little thing on. I went to Walmart and they had the cutest Yorkie on the front of the bag Christmas bag. It is darling. I know every Yorkie lover would want one. Please let all know this is out there. I hope you are well and Tibbe too. I love reading your posts!

Thank you for the kind words but why don't you start a new thread.

The Yorkie Christmas bag sounds so cute, it deserves its own new thread!

It's 44 degrees here now and I actually wore fall clothes, took a jacket with me today. The wind was blowing and it was cold for Texas! I adore this weather! Just a couple weeks ago, I was running the A-C part-time and now it's going to get cold tonight. Wonderful time of the year. I sure feel for those who are having to deal with the ice and snow but the first snowfall of the year is always so beautiful I kinda envy them.

Wow, we haven't got out of the 40s in what seems like forever, well, other than getting in the 30s and 20s. Cookie always wants to go play outside in the 25MPH wind from these Canadian fronts blowing in!

Was 24 degrees this morning - wonderful!!! Loving this cool/cold air. Tibbe loves it too. Just stands outside with his nose up in the air enjoying it. Have to make him come inside.

You guys actually get snow out of that cold air though. Ticks me off when the weatherman here in San Antonio says "No snow, but we'll get some sleet!" as if we're supposed to get excited over annoying crap that ices our roads over but can't be played in.

We did, though hardly any right in my neighborhood! Missed seeing or hearing it when it passed this way last night but it is nice to know it happened. Some areas got quite a dusting! I'm not much on sleet as all is causes is trouble, especially for those driving in it. But back when I worked, I'll have to admit I used to love hearing the sleet start up late at night and keep coming down, knowing pretty much that we'd have the day off if the weather was very bad! That was a good way to drift off to sleep, hearing the sleet hitting the windows, pretty well sure that next morning if you woke up to ice on the roads, you'd get to stay in bed as long as you wanted, as the doctors would close the office for the day!

Loving this weather and wishing for more!!! I was so over hot weather that this is just heavenly. And to think, we've months and months ahead before our weather gets hot and awful again. Ahhh.........

I love the cold too, just I love it when it's cold and sunny. We should have another month of good weather in the San Antonio area, but by late December we get cedar pollen, which is about the nastiest allergen out there other than forest fire smoke. We haven't had too much rain this year so far though, so hopefully the piece of crap Juniperus Ashei trees that create this pollen won't have a ton to release this winter.

I have such a HORRIFIC allergy to this cedar pollen....I actually come down with what they call cedar fever.....the older I get, the worse it gets! I have already started taking Allegra every day....I know they used to think I was lying about getting so sick from an allergy to pollen that I missed work, but hey, it happened then and is still happening now! Hopefully, it wont be too bad this year because of the lack of rain there.......it is 42* here in Houston....sunny and glorious! My brother had snow....light dusting!....in Paris a day or so ago....that is about all the snow I really enjoy, just enough to cover the ground, but not necessary to be out there shoveling or digging my car out!

Did not know this horrible stuff went all the way to Houston. Two years ago I had really nasty reactions to it including a never ending nasal infection from December to February thanks to those trees. Last year I started taking loratadine daily as well as the occasional pseudoephedrine when I got congested, and did OK with it even though I was working a lot outside in December and January when the season was at its worst. Though the really high pollen days still got to me; no defense against it when it's at 60x high level.
