High of 86 today?

I am sure I will be writing in the winter-time, shivering away and complaining I'm cold, but today's high here is 86, with a low tonight of 64. Yes, for my Florida friends, 64!!! That high of 86 may or may not happen, and if it does, it will likely be for just a few minutes late in the afternoon. My windows are still open in the house!! I am just not used to this...it's wonderful. It's funny-the newscasters here hesitate to say when/if a high temperature will be reached. One the other day said, "I'm not promising anything, but it may get into the nineties next week, we'll have to see." He sounded pretty skeptical. Sorry to go on and on about the lovely summer, but it is just darned nice not suffering away in the heat in South Florida. Remind me in February, after I've been snowed on/in a buncha times, how much I loved the summer here in Central NY. Onto another subject, my street I live on is quiet, and we've had to buy nightlights, since it actually gets really dark here at night. We don't have the light pollution, as I've taken to calling it, that we had when we lived in S Florida. Recycling is another thing that's different, people seem to take it more seriously here than where I've lived in Florida. Well, enough for today, I still have boxes lingering around that must be unpacked or, at the very least, shoved down in the basement.

yea yea yea just keep talking about how nice it is. I am so envious!!! You told me today I could come and visit. I'll be there in two shakes.
You know I have found that almost every where I have lived they take recycling seriously except here. I think that Florida is so behind in everything it's ridiculous.
I just love this blog Leslie. Can't wait to read it all. you all take care and we'll talk more later,
