AUTUMN is here!

I know that autumn has arrived for a couple of reasons.  First, the temps dropped way down into the 70's last night.  Phew!  I ran around the house and opened up ALL the windows!  And, we turned the air condition OFF!  Finally!  It has run virtually nonstop from May through September (until today)...Fortunately we had a $700 credit from Southern California Edison and that took us through MOST of the summer months!   :-)  I have a tendency to inch up the thermostat while hubby isn't looking, so we had a huge credit this year!

Second, sites are filling up at Thousand Trails RV park in Bermuda Dunes!  I drive by it every day to and from school.  It sits empty during the summer months and the owners trim all the palm trees and I'm sure they do maintenance then.  But, by Thursday, I did notice a few brave souls enduring the last couple of days of 106 degree temps.  Yesterday, it was down to 100 (I think...) and today, down to 89!  YIPPIE!  And, double digit temps for the REST of the week!  Whoo, whoo!   :-)

Finally, with the dropped temps, our nighttime temps have dropped too and we can sleep much more comfortably and open the doors and let the cool air inside during the mornings.  Right now it is a delightful 73 degrees!
