in shorts for laundry day!

"You're in shorts?! But it's November!"

 

True, my dear, but would you just look at that temperature? It's 76 and sunny and oh-so-blessedly warm!!! I've had the house wide open for two days, welcoming all that lovely warmth into the house to counteract the chill from the night.

 

"Good move! That will keep the electric bill below fifty bucks, which is a blessing of its own. It'll be interesting to see what will happen to electric rates since the two Republicans on that council lost their seats yesterday to Democrats."

 

Oh, please, I voted early, so that's been a done deal for me. Glad to know the two I voted for won. But right now, I'm more concerned with reveling in shorts!

 

"Let me guess: the long pants are all in the wash?"

 

Nope! They're in the dryer in this photo! That was taken about an hour ago. I've been home from the laundry for about thirty minutes now. And I had the oddest experience there today! Britney was there, as were two women she knew, and we all chatted and ended up having long hugs and a prayer session. Right place, right time, I tell you. If I had been ten minutes later in arriving, I would have missed that moment of community with strangers. I feel well and truly blessed!

 

"Good for you, dear. Timing truly is everything."
