Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Hi there.. and good day❣️
You did it again, my man Garrison.
Really good music selections (with good videos)
-then and still. 😎
Mornin’ Patience 🙂 Thanks. And a good day to you also, darlin’.
🧻🛀🏿
can make it or break it.

Good morning, Garrison💕 A few pictures in “The End of Innocence” elicited a pretty big sigh from me…
Good morning Bet, Patience and Garrison! Today is the day my rehab starts for real. 3 times a week for 36 rounds. Yay!
Bet, left you a reply last night but it was after 9 Central. ❤️😍
Hi, Pa❣️
Yer off to the races.
– 👻
Hope you have really good therapist(s).
Hahahahaaaa!!!! Good morning and good luck, dear brother💕 I’ll check…😘
(yep, last night was early shut down for me. It’s an age thing…)
Just saw your reply. Oh brilliant your rehab is near. Saves on gas and tire wear and you wear.
I can well believe those signs in Spain. I’m surprised they didn’t add “migrants” or as is more PC, “culture enrichers”. The British love Spain as a holiday destination, though they tend to coalesce around the beaches. Most are not particular about good tourist behaviour.
Nevertheless I hope they have a very good time. My oldest signed up in her college days for a 6-week intense Spanish course in that country (can’t remember exactly where) then headed out to backpack all over the continent.
Today, there is no way I would permit that sort of travel.
An interesting choice Valencia, and I will assume not the only area they’ll visit…
Good morning, Bet. I’ve always though that was one of his better—and if not “better” certainly “inventive”—videos.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

So welcome, my friend. To me the most beautiful Ave Maria written.🙏🏻💕 And a delight to share it.
Good morning all. Just thought I would get in an early greeting before heading back to bed after being woken up by Buckley so he could go out and do his business.

taken care of business
sleep well friend

Isn’t that how you get pirate eye syndrome?
Perhaps it was just a “future king” photo op.
It’s bazooka. It fires a rocket. There is no kick/recoil. As with any rocket propelled grenade launcher or recoilless rifle you better be darn sure that nobody is behind that tube when it is fired or in a confined space. The blast that comes out the back is called “back blast” and can kill.
I never fired that particular weapon but I fired plenty of LAWs and an RPG 7 several times. On the RPG 7 and earlier and later versions, the rocket is blasted out of the tube by an initiation charge that propels the rocket down range far enough that when the main rocket motor fires off it doesn’t burn the face of the firer.
That blast of the initiation charge is loud!
Gyrojet always intrigued me.
I saw a LAWS used in training, but the scariest weapon during my Army time (1970s) was the M40 105mm recoiless rifle. My unit had them mounted on quarter ton trucks (“Jeeps”). The back blast behind that weapon was lethal within an arc that extended behind the weapon. It did not use a rocket but used a cartridge that channelled the charge blast gases out rearward through vents in the breech, thus eliminating most of the recoil. It was as loud as a tank cannon.
I was only about 50 ft away from one (to the side and somewhat behind the side axis) when it was fired in a night assault. Even knowing when the blast was coming due to the crew commander loudly calling out their 50 cal. spotting and main firing cadence, it still weakens your knees for a second or two…
It’s great to be the King!!
Time to PAR-TAY!!!!!!!😎

Tropical Storm movement projected to move in a SOUTHERLY direction. I still recall Abby Sallenger’s explanation that the purpose of tropical storms and hurricanes is to move the warm water away from the equator.
About Sallenger:
https://www.usgs.gov/programs/cmhrp/news/remembering-asbury-abby-sallenger-architect-usgs-coastal-program
“the purpose of tropical storms and hurricanes is to move the warm water away from the equator”
I suspect she was trying to convey a general principle, the NET EFFECT of tropical storms
But I don’t think it’s a correct choice of words to say that any particular storm’s PURPOSE is to do that
Nor that any storm even HAS a ‘purpose’
The given track of any hurricane will depend on its own circulation and momentum, as well as the mid-latitude high and low pressure systems and fronts it starts to encounter when moving out of the tropics, as well as air circulation systems aloft
and that’s just a quick statement off the top of my head, I’m not a credentialed meteorologist but have browsed a fair bit of meteorology as a surfer and climatology as a hydrologist
Sounds pretty accurate to me …😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
So you believe that all Tropical Cyclones should always move north? A tropical cyclone is expending tremendous energy no matter which direction it is moving. They form by evaporation of warm surface water. That warm moist air rises, cooling as it does so, and then condenses and falls as rain.
“Tropical cyclones forming between 5 and 30 degrees North latitude typically move toward the west. Sometimes the winds in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere change and steer the cyclone toward the north and northwest. When tropical cyclones reach latitudes near 30 degrees North, they often move northeast.”
From the historic track map they show on that page, it appears that the majority of hurricanes/cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere eventually wind up at some latitude north of where they originated.
Ref. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/climo/
WHAT ARE YOU HAUNTED BY?
“What man is he that feareth the Lord?” Psalm xxv. 12
What are you haunted by? You will say – By nothing, but we are all haunted by something, generally by ourselves, or, if we are Christians, by our experience. The Psalmist says we are to be haunted by God. The abiding consciousness of the life is to be God, not thinking about Him. The whole of our life inside and out is to be absolutely haunted by the presence of God. A child’s consciousness is so mother-haunted that although the child is not consciously thinking of its mother, yet when calamity arises, the relationship that abides is that of the mother. So we are to live and move and have our being in God, to look at everything in relation to God, because the abiding consciousness of God pushes itself to the front all the time.
If we are haunted by God, nothing else can get in, no cares, no tribulation, no anxieties. We see now why Our Lord so emphasized the sin of worry. How can we dare be so utterly unbelieving when God is round about us? To be haunted by God is to have an effective barricade against all the onslaughts of the enemy.
“His soul shall dwell at ease.” In tribulation, misunderstanding, slander, in the midst of all these things, if our life is hid with Christ in God, He will keep us at ease. We rob ourselves of the marvelous revelation of this abiding companionship of God. “God is our Refuge” – nothing can come through that shelter.

Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. I Pet. 1:13

I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. II Tim. 1:12

Lord’s Prayer
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. – Hebrews 13:8
A kaleidoscope is an optical enjoyment, a toy built with two or more mirrors set at angles to each other inside a tube filled with bits of glass or stone. There is generally a small hole for viewing at one end, while the other end is clear or colored, permitting light to enter. As the kaleidoscope is rotated, fascinating images of ever-changing geometrics appear.
Scientists say when you look through the kaleidoscope, you engage both sides of your brain, which enhances your creativity and raises your spirits at the same time it reduces stress and helps you to relax. The curious thing about the kaleidoscope is that once you have passed an image, even by counter-rotating it, you cannot get it back. There is no sameness.
It is different, yet interestingly the same with Jesus. Different because, as today’s verse says, he remains the same forever. Who He has been, He is and will continue to be—His character never alters, He is consistently faithful, He is ever present with those who believe. But, just as kaleidoscopic images change from beauty to beauty, so does Jesus.
The more time you spend with Him, the many more facets you see. Time spent with Jesus will stir your creativity, and it will relieve your stress. Yet, it is not He who changes, but you and your perspective.
What has Jesus revealed of Himself to you lately that you hadn’t seen before? As you spend time in His words as relayed to you in the Gospels, you will discover new beauty as well as more and clearer understanding.
Pray that members of government who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ will find the time each day to discover new and exciting things about the One whom they serve.

Good morning Jim
☘️🍀☘️
Morrrrrning, Jim😘 Just caught you before it’s afternoon. One of those days when we’ll all be saying “Where did the day go???!?!?”
Blessed be yours, my friend.🙏🏻
Had a couple o’ them je ho vas a few days ago.
Held my Bible up to the window and waved.
Ma asked what -exactly ‘they’ are… and are they Christian?
Told her that my understanding (for one thing) is
that Jesus is not part of the Trinity.
Is that correct?
-Ma commended me for not opening the door.🥳
I have no specific knowledge of the JWs, Patience. But I have hidden out many a time in my Welsh home when they knocked…left…returned… knocked…so on and so on.
One thing I will say is that they are persistent.
The Bible works!!!
– poof
Knew a couple of really ‘nice’ young ladies
when I was (one as well🤭) 17
who became (lost souls)
jw followers. Sheesh!
No more birthday celebrations for them.
– Evil lurches in those kinds of ‘things’; according to them.
🤷♂️
Bizzzzzaro world (sigh)
You’ve just reminded me….
When my oldest was in kindergarten, I was Room Mother. And as such and being in a position to do so, I made sure all their class celebrations for various occasions like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, etc, were replete with filled goodie bags for each child, many whose parents were not financially well off and probably wouldn’t purchase what I did for those goodie bags.
There was one child whose parents were Jehovah’s Witnesses. And so right before the afternoon celebrations were about to start, these parents would come in and remove their child.
Mind, all day the children’s excitement for what was coming was palpable.
It was the cruelest and most crushing thing I always thought for a 5 year old to be yanked away from those times. At the time, just thinking about that child made me weep…decades and decades later, it makes me do the same.
See, I knows only what I knows.
Corruption, cruelty … and plain crazy
is loaded
-in some diversity .
I could tell you stories – but somehow I have to get me work and praying done…🙃
🙏🏻💕
Be and stay focused, Duch.

Stories can wait.😜

The Secret Garden is about TRANSFORMATION
https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Secret-Garden
Mary continues to tend the garden. Her interaction with nature spurs a transformation: she becomes kinder, more considerate, and outgoing. One day she encounters Dickon, and he begins helping her in the secret garden. Mary later uncovers the source of the strange sounds she has been hearing in the mansion: they are the cries of her supposedly sick and crippled 10-year-old cousin, her uncle’s son Colin, who has been confined to the house and tended to by servants. He and Mary become friends, and she discovers that Colin does not have a spinal deformation, as he has believed. Dickon and Mary take Colin to see the garden, and there he discovers that he is able to stand. The three children explore the garden together and plant seeds to revitalize it, and through their friendship and interactions with nature they grow healthier and happier. When her uncle returns and sees the amazing transformation that has occurred to his son and his formerly abandoned garden now in bloom, he embraces his family, as well as their rejuvenated outlook on life.
Analysis and adaptations
This tale of transformation is an exaltation of nature and its effects on the human spirit. The physical and spiritual healing that Mary and Colin experience in the garden is mirrored in the seasons: it is winter when Mary discovers the garden; they begin working in spring and fully recover in summer; and Archibald Craven returns to find his son and the garden both healthy in the fall. In addition, Burnett’s interest in the theories of Christian Science and theosophy are reflected in the way that the children are healed, not only through contact with nature and with each other but also through positive thinking.

The Lord takes delight in his people.
Sing to the Lord a new song
of praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel be glad in their maker,
let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.
The Lord takes delight in his people.
Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
For the Lord loves his people,
and he adorns the lowly with victory.
The Lord takes delight in his people.
Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them sing for joy upon their couches;
Let the high praises of God be in their throats.
This is the glory of all his faithful. Alleluia.

Yesterday Bet
You interjected lil prayers in with mine
May have been the day before
They were from the “ book of common prayer” I believe.
Just wanted to let you know that it was really nice
Felt like they fit in beautifully
I’m not saying it’s something you should do all the time but if you do it from time to time it is most welcomed
Thanks my dear friend

Thank you, sweet, thoughtful friend🙏🏻💕
My Book of Common Prayer, decades old, is very precious to me, mo.
There are times when something someone posts (in the case of yours a few days ago) or someone’s battles cause me to recall certain short prayers in that bless-ed Book which give me great comfort, and I hope they will do the same for others.
If I say I felt compelled to add those when and where I did on that day, I’m sure you’ll understand, dearest mo.
You’re welcome.🙏🏻💕🍀
I will look forward to more with great joy if the occasion arises my dear friend ☘️🍀☘️
I’m so glad, mo…it’s the language, you see…language to lift our eyes and hearts above our earthly condition.
There was an attempt to abandon this beautiful Book in Britain. But a group of people dedicated to its preservation formed and met to keep the pressure on to maintain it as a cornerstone.
The then Prince of Wales, now King, Charles is or was its patron. At one time the late superb doyenne of crime writers Baroness PD James was chairman. A woman who valued the exquisite use of language herself in her novels who understood how important it was to revere its usage within the Anglican Church.
Now? The way that Church has become apostate? I suspect the Synod would dump it without so much as a twinge of conscience and not lose any sleep over it.

“Siegfried Idyll”
Mo!! I revisited last night’s thread…
What you said about choosing Alvin over Theodore?
This is how we selected our much missed Jack Russell, Penny.
Chris said when he went to select from the litter that the first to make a fuss of him would be the one.
And like your bff Alvin, our Penny was the runt.
She could barely walk, but my gosh!! Once she saw him, she struggled for all her little life was worth to crawl out of her basket to greet him. The attraction between the two of them was instant and loving. She was the one.
And in reality, we were chosen by her. Miss her to this day…💕
Just had to tell you as I missed my chance last night😊
Late to the party.
This was one of my favorite books growing up. I had no idea it was modeled after a real garden until these posts.
Thank you!

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

Did you get the play on the words Sears and Roebuck?

Yes Sears & Roebuck has an interesting history – especially, the Christmas Catalogue – ☺️
Speaking of the S&R catalog… I remember going through several of these in the outhouse on the farm 50 plus years ago.
Fun Times, eh RAS?

Have a great and Blessed Day, Treehousers. I am off to cut a couple properties before these pop up showers start. I was cooped up too long yesterday because of the rain. I get a little froggy when I internalize the madness of our Country without doing something productive and helpful out in the heat to expel those negative vibrations. Thank You Lord for another chance to do the right thing.
Stay cool, my friend!
it helps to get out and about
work it off
thats where im headed
my cuttin will be a lil dif than yours though
be carefull
im in for a busy day myself
lots of work to be done today

Amen goes right there, CR!!! ❤️
Good Morning I have been wandering around in my heart
with what took place here regarding jWoo and the pain she was
experiencing. I for one although fairly new to this site know
that a enlightened soul crossed by path for which I thank God.
Amen
Good morning to you, lightworkerspirit 🤗
Like you, every morning and throughout the day until we say our “good nights” to one another, I keep checking in hopes our JWoo has, given the purging of the abominable post she rightly and loudly protested, has reconsidered and returned to her branch.
Until she does (I am praying) we will keep it swept, dusted, trimmed, and tidy…🙏🏻🌿
It is my understanding Ad Rem removed it and all comments, too – do not recall on what day she did this
So SING HALLELUJAH!!! ❤️
The following day; as I recall.
We all learned that it takes at least
-10 red flags
to really alert Ad rem and others.
JWoo done good!
She did, duchess…and JWoo answered and thanked her after that. I was hoping that she would reconsider her original post before that happened, saying she was withdrawing from the Tree unless it was removed…which it was….still watching for her.🙏🏻
Duchess…I deleted just the offending comments made on the original P/OPEN post….not any of the replies made back here the the OPEN.
Here’s the link to JWoo’s original comment that starts the conversation..
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/05/30/tuesday-may-30th-open-thread-2/comment-page-1/#comment-9874879
Oh – Did not know anything bad was revealed here specifically – but thanks for the clarification –
Betsy, she came back (by way of a phone).
Did she?? So glad….I missed it. I was looking for her usual long posts which I enjoy so much so very well could have overlooked it.
And by the way, we are missing a couple of other Treeper friends as well…
Jay, this week affer.his Bench Monday, and…
1530 who posts such beautiful hymns and the lyrics to go with them.
He has been absent for a few weeks now.
Prayers headed heaven wards for both.🙏🏻
Woo’s was just a shorty, but it happened. Yeah❣️
Sometimes when I am absent from here
(I saw where that could take you Betsy 🤭)
I only lurk; due to time constraints. Never go a day without coming here. Never.
Perhaps it’s the same for Jay and others; pray. 😎
With Mr jay, yes. With 1530, I hope so🙏🏻 And others…
Last night I watched the movie THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES made in 1946. That is the way I remember America.
Terrific film!!!!!!!!
One of my all time favourites, Merry…and the scene which I remember the most when the daughter was sitting on the bed telling her how her parents wouldn’t understand the turmoil with love as their marriage had always been so perfect…
…then her mother honestly and beautifully telling her
of the times when it wasn’t.
Why that stuck with me out of all the incredible, emotional scenes in that marvelous movie I don’t know.
That movie evokes the same emotions every time I watch it.
It really covered so many matters.
So well done, SO well done!!
Good morning Treepers. Took a couple of days (and nights) off from posting. Got a lot of stuff done around the house and yards. Front, side, and back yards mowed. House cleaning, laundry….bleah. Anyways, here’s an interesting video about why cats knead. Smokey goes to town when he jumps in bed with me. I talk to him while he rubs his face in mine. He purrs like a motorboat. No problems with the dogs who have already taken up residence on the bed….
I’m laundry-ing now. I approve your one word comment on that😎
Motorboat purring is THE best, bless his loving little feline heart🤗
Smokey has some very sharp claws which I try to avoid when he kneads on me. He is a very affectionate cat.
I’m getting a new chain link fence installed in my back yard; hopefully soon.
Have to keep the big girls in the house until I walk them down the street on leashes. I can’t turn them loose in the backyard because the lab likes to explore other people’s yards if she has the opportunity. The pit bull follows her and it’s not an easy task trying to get both of them back to my place. The chihuahua doesn’t go out much anymore; she’s about 15 years old.
Needless to say, housekeeping and clean-up chores are compounded with the big dogs being kept in the house longer than usual.
I may have already mentioned this, but I now have a new roof on the house.
I hope you’re having a blessed day. I found a very interesting article that someone posted on the Presidential Politics Thread a couple of days ago. I’m going to post it with my reply here. I don’t know if you’ve seen it or not, it was originally posted on Zero Hedge. The comparisons are uncanny. And chilling.

Oh please do, Joe. I don’t visit the PT much. I did today because I was so incensed about the link below, I had to vent somewhere. Took it there to raise merry h*ll.
Yes, you have a menagerie all right, but I’m sure you are as glad for the company as they are for the love, care, and attention you give them. I can, by the way, feel those claws. Interesting how I’ve known cats to “make biscuits” without using theirs. Would he let you trim them I wonder??

I found the article in TGP a few minutes ago. Unbelievable. Smh…
It’s getting play on other sites as well
“Government by the people and for the people”……Really?
I think that ship has sailed years ago.
And what was this farce???

Hi again, Bet. I’ve never heard of the term “making biscuits”. Interesting description of a cat kneading. That’s a new one for me.
😁…can’t remember where I first heard it, but I do remember thinking “How PERFECT!!”

Morning, Joe. How lovely is this????
Good morning, Bet. Very lovely.
It is now an act of courage to speak the truth in the USA. The loathing I have for the traitors’ words and actions is deeper than the Marianas Trench. The vast range of willful ignorance in this country and the world is breathtaking. Common sense is not so common. “Though I travel through the valley of the shadow of darkness, I shall fear no evil, because Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me.” Let’s get it on!
GOD’S GOT THIS, VV – HAVE FAITH AND BE PATIENT – IT WILL HAPPEN!!! 💙
Oops. Not sure how I managed to post this image twice.
Easy Peasy, Joe – mind goes faster than the fingers – they are always catching up – I think – ☺️
Good evening Duchess. Sometimes the loading of an image/video is slow. Ongoing race with the edit button.
I’m not exactly the fastest typist in the neighborhood either. Especially before that 2nd cup of java.
LOL
Well the weather models are indicating most of us in the US are in for a big cool down starting tomorrow. Only Florida, and the plain states up near the Canadian border will see a bit warmer than average weather during for the first part of this month. Then gradually the warmth builds in from both north and up through Texas until the northern plains and Texas have temps well above average.
Joe believes that as the warmth builds in Texas that the set up for another tornado outbreak late this month. Cold over warm always brings the potential for severe weather.

(18) The American Storm on Twitter: “Though Texas may rally mid and late month the biggest news is that population weighted this could be one of the least CDD Junes in a long time. Also with Texas heat trying to develop while much of rest of country coolish, late tornado season rally likely mid and late month” / Twitter
The early mornings have been perfect; cool.!
It’s been high 80s and 90 with scorching sun.
-65 would work for me!
