With record or near record temperatures on Sunday and Monday (along with high humidity) it seemed like mid-August. Today is the transition day I guess, about 75 degrees with low humidity. Tomorrow the high is forecast to be 55. Only a 44 degree drop from Sunday! Well you knew it had to come.
Very good Bears game Sunday night. They beat the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay. And it was just a good game to watch. Went right down to the wire. Bears were behind most of the way but hung in there. Illinois is playing well too. First 3-0 start in the Big Ten since about 1989 or something like that. So, we had little bit of good stuff over the weekend in the sports front to make us forget that the Cubs got swept. Lost three games in a row. Next year it will be 100 years since the Cubs last World Series victory. They were beaten of course by Arizona. Arizona was not even a state when the Cubs last won the World Series. Gimme a break :-)
We got the net on the pond in time to start catching the leaves. So that's it for water lily pictures. Dumped the hanging flower pots too; they were starting to look pretty straggly. So the only thing really left are the two hibiscus bushes and this cold weather snap isn't going to set well with them.
We leave Thursday for Long Island New York for a "reunion" of our friends from the Mediterranean cruise. Back Sunday.

We're starting to see autumn weather here too. I think we are transitioning this week as well. The weather forecaster said yesterday morning that when this happens, we've seen the last of the 90's until next year. I don't know when I've seen such hot weather for so long! I hope this isn't indicative of a severe winter :( Have fun on your trip!
