Fair point. I want out of FL too but Rick’s job is here. And he’d be very unlikely to find another at his age if we upped and moved. Sadly.

I know y’all have been thinking about the move. I thought the cold was too much for the RA? I’ve become more heat intolerant as I’ve gotten older. As it’s gotten hotter in FL. We used to have seasons here. Not like up north, but seasons. No more. We have warm and hot. With the occasional cold front

We ended up closing up on Sunday when it got to 79 inside. That’s too warm for me. I keep it at 76 during the day. But we are able to open up a night for a few hours. Love it.

Good morning Miss Linda! Happy Tuesday! Another gorgeous day here. Edging up to too warm tho. But finally comfortable to be outside.
I love the bunnies 🥰

True. The humidity makes the difference. Although 85 is the upper level of my preference. About 75 is perfect for me. Like today 😊

Good morning Miss Linda! And a glorious Sunday it is. Currently 68 with calm breezes and sunshine ☀️
Garden clean up has already begun. Windows are open, doggies are enjoying the outdoors. The weather is absolutely perfect and oh boy oh boy I’ve got that first day of Real Fall spring in my step

I’m absolutely thrilled. It’s cooler outside than in for the first time in at least 6 months.

Good morning Miss Linda. Hapoy Friday. Very windy here today. Plants are not having a good day. Sigh. Going to be a ton of clean up next week.

trishputnam.bsky.social @trishputnam.bsky.social · 6d

Sounds like a plan. I am so anxious for cooler temps right now I can’t stand it. I’m so so over hot and muggy

Good morning Miss Linda! Happy Thursday! It does feel sort of fall-ish today. Still warm and muggy but the nor’easter is ramping up. Wind picking up etc. gonna cool down by tomorrow. I do actually put out feeders for everybody but not when it’s super windy. Squirrels are busy today prepping.

Yeah we’ve got highs in the 70s predicted. I won’t be happy til those 70s are accompanied by sunny and less humid. Then I’ll be happy.

Good morning Miss Linda! Happy humpday
Had a good bit of rain here too. A mere two hours after I watered the plants 😏 because the weather forecast swore no rain. Sigh. Another dry warm day today then it’s nor’easter time. Again.

trishputnam.bsky.social @trishputnam.bsky.social · 9d

That sucks. We have a very wet 7 day forecast. Big front next weekend apparently. Lotsa rain. But highs in the 70s so no complaints.

Good morning Miss Linda! Happy Monday. Yup, knock wood we might be done for Atlantic approaching storms. 🤞 of course, anything that spins up in the Gulf and crosses the state can still be trouble, but 🤞🤞🤞
Rainy stormy day here. But looks to be cooling off by the weekend.

Good morning Miss Linda! Happy Sunday!

You know, I’ve been using the term christofascist for about 25 years. Since the run up to the 2000 election. Ppl looked at me like I was crazy. I was always like no really, this is exactly what they are. 😏

trishputnam.bsky.social @trishputnam.bsky.social · 11d

Yeah. It’s so wonderful to be able to hang outside once the temps n humidity drop. Next I’m eagerly awaiting open windows. Not quite there yet.

trishputnam.bsky.social @trishputnam.bsky.social · 11d

True. We definitely get more seasonal here. But also coastal so not even quite GA fall. Cooler than where you are for sure. Which I’m glad of. 80ish again for today.

Good morning Miss Linda! Happy Saturday. Not much going on here. Weather is still very unsettled. Looks like it will be for this next week. Hopefully when it calms down we’ll be getting into real Florida fall

trishputnam.bsky.social @trishputnam.bsky.social · 12d

Oh boy. Floor day.
Sun is out here for now. Yesterday we had bands of real tropical rain. Wind whipping, sideways rain like whiteout rain. But it’s nice at the moment. Definite chill in the air last night tho. I guess we might get fall after all

@lindacollins11.bsky.social Good morning Miss Linda! Happy Friday!! Another breezy day keeping the temps down. Hope you’re having a good day!

trishputnam.bsky.social @trishputnam.bsky.social · 14d

That sucks 😔
I’ve been disappointed in the lack of blooming but the food I’ve been using seems to finally be helping. Vines have been losing a lot of leaves tho from wind damage. And we’ve got more wind coming tomorrow thru the weekend. So we’ll see how they’re doing after that.

Good morning Miss Linda! That is most excellent news!!!! Happy humpday indeed.
Nothing special to report here. Except this:

Good morning Miss Linda! Happy Tuesday. A breezy damp day here but no complaints. It’s like only 80.
Just got back from the V. E. T. Socrates is in excellent shape for his years, but he’s gained 3 lbs since last year so someone is about to have his treats cut back. 😳

trishputnam.bsky.social @trishputnam.bsky.social · 16d

Definitely. We were going to get ours this upcoming weekend but may put it off for another week now. At least we *can* get them. What a relief.
