What a wacky day. Yesterday was raw and cold and rainy; but early this morning, when I got up and started to do the mad-dash-in-the-dark to take out the recycling, I grabbed up the bags and charged out the back door coatless, shoulders already pulled up in the Minnesota Hunch against the anticipated cold, and then ... stopped. It was *warm.* It was also densely foggy, and everything was saturated with wet (leaves dripping even though no rain was falling), and -- *warm.*

It got up to 75 today, which is about 25 degrees above normal. Everyone at work kept making little sorties outside, to bask and twirl around in the sun--coatless! in late October! And the students were frisking around in sandals and tanktops.

And now there's a massive storm pushing up from the south; I wish I could get a photo that would capture the eerie quality of the late-afternoon sun, glowing brilliant gold as it filters through the golden leaves, and backed up by the deep grey ominous storm clouds billowing in the distance. Tornado watch and severe thunderstorm warning in effect, hail possible. Tomorrow we're back down in the 50s and it'll all be over, but for now I have all the doors and windows open and fresh air in the house, and ... OK, it's started raining, and *whoa*, big flash of lightning in the southeast. I love it.

Yesterday's weather was incredible, wasn't it? I was till three in the morning listening to the storms and watching the rain. I thought the winds were going to blow a couple of trees over, but they stood strong.

Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
