| This tree says it's fall. I call bulls**t. |
Before we got to the end of the trail, Rita let us know she'd had enough and turned around so we could head back. As we finished our little hike, she found some fairly gross water to take a dip in.

It's supposed to cool off a very tiny bit Monday* and Tuesday and hopefully by Thursday it will be back in the 70s where it belongs!
The fall is my favorite season. I just hope we'll get to experience it soon! I dream of wearing jeans and a sweater!
Please tell me of your lovely fall weather so I can be jealous!
* Sue was right in her comment below. The weatherman lied again! Was supposed to drop to 88 today, but now they are saying it will be 95 today. Our worst day yet. Bleh. So over it.

I have a theory about weather forecasts when it is hotter than hades and they claim it will cool off tomorrow (then tomorrow rolls around, no cooler, and then they say the next day) - it is simply a plot to keep us from having a psychotic break. At least that's what I began thinking last summer when it was well over 100 degrees every day for 5 1/2 weeks. This year is totally crazy. It's in the 80s and hard to believe Halloween is just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteUgh. I think you're right. Going to have to do an update to my post. It was supposed to drop to 88 today, but they just said on the news today will be the worst day yet - 95! (And that's at the coast - even hotter inland.) Can't believe you guys had 5+ weeks of 100+ degrees! But then, we dont have central AC so I'd lose my mind!
Delete95 degrees and no central air? Yuck!! In California?! Mother Nature has some 'splaining to do! Jeffie is laying in front of an open window sniffing the breeze and wishing Rita was here :-)
DeleteI have to say I'd much rather have the warm weather. I live in NY and we have long winters and Cocoa and I both are more summer girls :) It is perfect today though at 70. Hot for us this time of year!!
ReplyDeleteWell, our version of "cold" isn't that bad, so I'd rather have it be cold - but that's OUR cold. Not NY cold. :) Rita agrees with me. With her partly-black coat, she definitely prefers the cooler weather!
DeleteThat is amazing to me that it's so hot there. Sheesh. We arrived in Washington were it's cool, and looks like it may have rained recently.
ReplyDeleteOh, jealous! My sis is in Oregon right now - wish *I* was in the Pac. NoWest too!
DeleteToronto's weather is always all over the place. Some days it's above ten others it's under. But yes it looks very fall like here also.
ReplyDeleteOkay, had to do some math on that one, but since I used to live in Canada, I *do* know how to convert C to F! Under 10 is chilly!
DeleteWe here in Wyoming are also having unseasonably warm weather. We were 91 degrees on Saturday and 85 degrees on Sunday. Just not fall weather!
ReplyDeleteWow - that's crazy. Thought it was only our little corner of the country that was so hot. Is it too much to ask for a little fall-like weather?!
DeleteWe've had freezing temperatures here.
ReplyDeleteWow - that's crazy. It's too early for that! We need to start a petition demanding our fall weather back!
DeleteI'm totally a spring/summer/ hot weather person with hot weather dogs. We would like to skip over the next two months and have it be the winter solstice when the sun start back to earth. Spring comes here in February and we can't wait.
DeleteRita and I are cool weather types. But of course, our winters aren't too bad - it's not like we live in Buffalo!
DeleteIt is unseasonably warm here today 22 C/77 F, normal would be about 10C/ 50F. Winter will be here too soon so we are just enjoying it!
ReplyDelete77 would be nice! That's almost 20 degrees less than here today! Yes, enjoy - cuz I know your winters are tough to get through! (Our winters are pretty easy!)
DeleteWe did get a cool down on Sunday. Sat we were in the 80's and Sunday was very windy and high 60's. Got up this morning and it was 37 degrees. Time to bring in the garden vegetables!
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel
37 degrees! Yikes! It almost never gets that cold here!
Deletesorry, for once the weather is fabulous here in MD.
ReplyDeleteOf course the toxic mosquito Man company is still spraying for non existent mosquitos causing me to seal up the house to avoid a reaction. But not today... that's next week.
Cole says to put Rita on a plane and come visit!
Jealous of your fabulous weather! We'd love to visit!
DeleteWe are going to hit the 100s this week but hopefully that will be the last of the summer weather. It never looks like fall here - but I settle for the cooler temps in the mornings and evenings. Blueberry and I are both happier with our "cooler" weather. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's all relative, isn't it?! We can't wait for our version of cooler too! :)
DeleteEeks! It hit 80 here yesterday and upper 70s again today and we are NOT happy about it! We went to the forest preserve this afternoon and weren't prepared, no water, sunscreen, etc. But 90 would just kill poor mom. Cooler air coming tonight yay! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteOh, that's hot with no water and no sunscreen! What's with so many places being so hot?!
DeleteThe rain has started here! It rained all day Saturday but Sunday was pretty nice. I'm looking forward to wearing sweaters and knee high boots.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I bought some jeans and knee-high boots on sale a few months ago and I'm itching to finally wear them!
DeleteThe weekend here was hot, but we were luckily up north in the woods where it was still nice and cool. Now it is cool again here. Not heat fans here either.
ReplyDeleteNice weather in the woods sounds fabulous! Jealous!
DeleteThe weather in Northern Virginia can flip flop between hot and cold this time of year. We had a gorgeous weekend with daytime temps well into the 70's and probably close to 80, but then last night it cracked into the 30's, cooling off to 39. We have a frost warning for later this week! Years back, I remember getting TEN inches of snow on Columbus Day!
ReplyDeleteWow - into the 30s?! That's a big drop after getting close to 80! That reminds me, when we lived in Canada, it snowed in mid-October. Not 10 inches, mind you, but a few inches! It was my first snow storm. I instantly was ready for Xmas!
DeleteOh my gosh, it's so hot there! The 90s are just too much. Rita sure is cute, though!
ReplyDeleteWe've been having a similar weather thing here, it's been getting cold, then hot then cold and now it's warm again.. but not nearly as hot as the 90's! Eek!
We had *one* day where it was cool enough that I actually shivered and had to put on socks. Other than that it's been hot hot and more hot!
DeleteWe are sooooo with you but thought it was just Central California! ! Cooler weather with rain PLEASE come quickly!
ReplyDeleteWe have some possible rain in the forecast later this week. Fingers crossed!!
DeleteI hope fall weather finds you soon. It was 80 here today. Too warm for me. Normal high this time of year is 64, which I much prefer.
ReplyDelete64 would be lovely!
DeleteWV is seasonal and in the 70's. We have actually had to turn on heat last a few nights. We watched the San Diego/Pittsburgh game last night and I think it was 93 on the field there at kick off. Hope you guys get cooler weather soon. My dogs love this time of year!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that football game was crazy! I think they said it was 96 at one point!
DeleteSunday here was cold! It was only 8C/48F IN THE HOUSE! Had to put the furnace on. Extra blankets on Hiker. So not ready for winter!
ReplyDeleteIt seems there is no happy medium!
DeleteDoesn't that stink when you are waiting for your favorite season to arrive and it takes forever? I hope you get a taste of Fall very soon!
ReplyDeleteWe had a little rain the past few days but it was still warm and humid. Supposed to go back to the high 80s this week. eek.
DeleteWow. 90s. That's hot. Here we're still getting 70s. I'm happy with that. I'm sure it will cool down soon. Until then...ice cubes.
ReplyDelete--Wags (and purrs) from Life with Dogs and Cats
Oh, 70s would be lovely! That's what I'm hoping for - without this humidity we've been having!
DeleteI don't envy you. We didn't have a very hot summer but Sept. turned out to be hot at the beginning and that was enough to get us tired of it.
ReplyDeleteOur weatherman says we might see snow flurries this weekend! Don't be jealous of that. We have been enjoying perfect 60's and 70's and lots of sunshine, and the foliage has been gorgeous. But I'd prefer it stayed that way a little longer. But we're starting to see more clouds, and breezes today, so I have a feeling we're going downhill soon.
Yeah, I'd rather be hot than have snow flurries! way too early for that!
Deletehmmmm my fall weather this morning was like 28 degrees!!! I would much rather have it warmer.
ReplyDelete28?! That's crazy! It NEVER gets that cold here, so when I wish for some nice fall weather, I'm wanting like high 60s, low 70s! :)
Deletehello pooch smooches its dennis the vizsla dog hay wow yes it has ben in the nineteez heer in oshunside too wot is up with that??? at leest it wuz kooler tooday!!! i think maybe the wetherman put a decimal poynt in the rong playse i blaym the noo math!!! ok bye
ReplyDeletelol. Yes, I blame the new math too!
DeleteYikes! We are not fans of temps in the 90's no matter the time of year.
ReplyDeleteI know! We don't even like 90s in the summer!
DeleteToday it's raining and the temp has a little bit of a chill in the air.
ReplyDeleteOh, so jealous! It was 82 yesterday ands supposed to be the same today! Sick of it!
