A Pleasant Day in O'Fallon, Illinois

It's hard to believe that here we are, almost mid-June, and the weather is perfectly pleasant today. We've had searing heat in the high 90s and high humidity for the last two weeks. The kind of temperature that saps your energy when you're outside and makes you feel like you're in a sauna. It's typical here in O'Fallon, Illinois but one can't get used to it. When you're showing homes in high heat and humidity, it makes you want to go through the home fast without going outside to check the backyard.

(Tip for new Realtors®: when your listed home is being shown, turn down the air conditioning a few hours prior. In the spring and fall, open windows to air out the stale smell.)

But today is wondrous. Perfect 76°, low humidity, a little cloudy, nice cool breeze coming through our open windows. Yes, it's that nice--open windows in the middle of June in O'Fallon! How cool is that? I don't have any open house today, no showings, my hubby is taking a nap, and here I am blogging with my home office window open to let the cool breeze in. I can hear the birds singing, neighbors' children having fun, I couldn't ask for a more pleasant day! :)

Through Open Windows

If you would like to live in an area where you get the four seasons, perfectly beautiful green spring, colorful and beautiful fall, mild snowy winters, and hot and pleasant summers full of events and activities for all... come to Southwestern Illinois, and let me help you find a home!

Hi, Cheryl - this weather is not typical over here in June. Just last Friday it was very close to 100 degrees. I know you can use rain over there, too extreme in some states. That's why we're enjoying today, it's rare. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Yolanda: Hot and dry and severe drought here at Canyon Lake TX. When the weather is extra nice it makes the day enjoyable and makes work pleasant.

Hi, C&C and Dale! It's even cooler today and might rain tonight. We are just glad about the nice break. I know it's been dry in many places, and we don't know how long this nice temp will last.  Have a great evening and thank you for dropping by. :)

Yolanda,
we are only up to 61 degrees and it been raining off and on all day. The Weatherman side we'll only get into the med 50's tomorrow and more rain. Sure do wish I could send the rain down to our friends Carl and Ceil, and my relatives, plus my other mighty fine friends in Texas.

Have a good one

Hello, Dale! I will consider 50 chilly and unusual for June in Illinois. I think the weatherman lied again to us because it's not raining here. lol Crazy weather all around.

I know, I wish we could send rain and cool weather to our friends in Texas, too. Thanks for dropping by!
