Even for us. An old wives tale was always that a colder than average winter follows a hotter than usual summer. Well, I'm 70 years old and over the years it's I've come to the conclusion that the old wives were right. We can look forward to a nasty winter. In the coming months, while shivering, I'm going to miss summer. <br /><br />Huggs..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-22764586708650070202015-08-14T17:24:43.714-07:002015-08-14T17:24:43.714-07:00I've often wondered, if our bodies maintain a ...I've often wondered, if our bodies maintain a temperature of 98.6 degrees, why is an air temperature of 98.6 degrees so uncomfortable?

We have gotten some good rain about every other week, so I feel for everyone else. As for signs of fall, we had lightning bugs/fireflies beginning the end of June, and we hardly ever see them until Aug., and our cicadas were nearly 6 weeks earlier than normal. It 'feels' like fall, and that is unusual too for this time of year.

We will keep you and the firefighters in prayer, we also are experiencing bad fires here, the fire is now about 5-8 miles from the town we live in and we are getting close to needing to evacuate, please keep us in your prayers, and please, please send the rain this way!!!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-30167469376599652472015-08-14T10:24:59.179-07:002015-08-14T10:24:59.179-07:00Here in Florida, my family and I hibernate during ...Here in Florida, my family and I hibernate during the summer, waiting for what passes for fall and winter.

I keep telling my husband one day soon we should get outta here and go someplace without so much heat and humidity but it's hard to pick up and go.
