Thankful for the Chilly Weather!

Don't let this pretty golf course picture fool you into thinking Phoenix has warm weather all the time!  This morning I woke up and it was in the mid 40's! This is cold  to us Phoenicians!.  I had to get up and out and ready for a photo shoot by 9:00 and I couldn't find any cold weather shoes. All I have out is sandals and that just don't work with stockings!! But I was short on time and had to get out the door, so sandals was the only choice. I did put the heat on in the car - which is weird to do for me!

 

All was fine at the house until we went out to backyard to shoot the pool and patio.  BRRRRRR! I took one step from the patio and the wind went right through me.  I said - holy smokes it's cold out! Wayne, our photographer starts laughing.  Oh don't say that he says! You do  remember how much fun it is on photo shoots all summer, right? And remember that estate I shot for you that took hours?  That was the hottest day ever!! And yes, I did remember that shoot and I felt so bad for him that day - he was dripping wet and what did I do?  Made sure he got plenty of water.

 

But he sure did 'snap' me back into reality - fast!  So now I sit at my desk with sandals on and am actually appreciating my cold feet! I can hear the wind blowing and the chimes making music and it has me thinking - it's a good day for soup for lunch!

 

 

Thankful for the Chilly Weather!

Thought it might get you going in another direction Hannah Williams !  And you might be right - time to buy some warm boots. Not sure about UGG as that might be too hot for here? Don't they have fur inside - more like for after skiing?

Life is full of chance to readjust our perspective, isn't it Anna?  Our high yesterday was 32º.  I've switched from sandals to shoes and socks. The mid 40's would still be sandal weather for me.

I'm envious of your blue skies, Anna.  We exist in a smoke-filled valley caused by wildfires.  I also woke to a nippy 36 degrees. . .Brrrr!

Myrl Jeffcoat oh my goodnesss it's horrible news of what's happening with those fires in CA.  All of you that live in CA have been on my mind - a lot. I hope that you are safe. I heard on the news this am how bad the air was going to be the next few days or so. I am praying they can get the fires under containment.

Anna,

We woke up to a nippy 49, but the day warmed us to 71.  I wore my loafers!  We are thankful for the cooler temps especially because of the fires at both end of our state...A

That is pretty chilly, I would admit.  But here in the Pacific Northwest, wearing socks with a pair of Birkenstocks seems to still be the hot fashion trend!

Anna The Fall Temps in the morning have been down right chilly in the 30's  so I am thankful for my little heater.  When you have the temps you do then 40's and 50's would feel cold. It is breezy here in the California Desert. I will be in the Arizona desert by Weds.

Anna- My feet go from flip flops to boots with nothing in between. My fave footwear when it's cold would be my Uggs!!!

I was looking at the plants on my deck today in Sacramento and thinking I should haul some of the more sensitive ones into the house. They won't make it through the winter, and it got below 40 this morning. That's cold. I'm hanging around long enough to have Thanksgiving dinner and then you know where I"m going.

That's hilarious! Sunday I was out showing a property with temps upper 60s, winds at 40 MPH with a turtleneck and a fur vest on freezing my butt. I could not wait to get home and make soup! Chicken broccoli mushroom. Divine!

After a long winter here even Phoenicians dress like it's 80 degrees the 1st time it hits 40 degrees in the spring in Minot because it feels like a heat wave after 30 degrees below zero Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886

Our poor men. They seem to not appreciate hot weather and can't find a way to get cool. It was in the twenties here yesterday and I saw a man in shorts and shirt, no jacket. He did have on socks with his sandals.
