False Summer

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 40 degrees, high 52 degrees, clear, winds gusting to 3o mph

Yesterday's nice weather was just a teaser to make us think we were in for warmer temperatures. It has turned cold again, with wind chills down as low as 30 degrees today. The low tonight is forecast for 30 degrees. Along with the cold weather and high winds is an increased wildfire hazard. The humidity levels are very low, which makes the possibility of fires even greater. The area needs rain badly. Note in the weather report above that we had winds up to 30 mph. We try not to travel unless we have to when the wind is that high.

We did not do much today except go into Glen Rose to Burger King for a Croisanwich. That seems to be our favorite breakfast sandwich. Throw in some tater tots and a Diet Coke, and we're set.

Later in the day, I put our tripod away. The tripod is placed under the fifth wheel tongue to provide more stability when parked. Putting the tripod away is one more thing I don't have to do when we get ready to leave.

Not too much happening beyond what I wrote above. I started reading a new book by Patricia Cornwell (Book Of The Dead), surfed the web a little, walked, and did my exercises to keep my left rotator cuff from acting up. Carolyn worked on her crafts and did a little reading.

We had pork chops smothered in a gravy mix, frozen field peas and butter beans mixed together (they were cooked), and potato salad for dinner. I'm going to have watch how much I eat with that kind of meal. Very tasty.

More later, be safe.
