heat and the marking of a decade
Monday, August 16, 2010 at 1:58 PM | Bitty This weekend was the kind of hot I loathe, the kind that sucks every last bit of will and energy you have and spits it out on the baking sidewalk to sizzle into oblivion. We had exactly two things on our to-do list for this weekend -- 1) washing the Prius, and 2) washing the Camry -- and accomplished neither of them.
But! We do get to sleep on the back porch when it gets hot like this, and we have a perfectly idyllic backyard to enjoy, so there are things to be thankful for. Plus -- and I do feel guitly about this -- as hot as it's been and is forecasted to get, we've had an insanely cool and mild summer while the rest of the country has sweltered. So really, I have no business complaining.

Yesterday marked the 10 year anniversary since we packed up our possessions and left Wyoming for our Great Oregon Adventure. Tomorrow will mark 10 years since we became Oregonians. Ten years. It seems simultaneously like it was just yesterday and like it was another lifetime.

You're practically almost not newcomers anymore! :D
I'm not thriving in this heat either, but it looks like it's about to end, and, at this late date, that probably means end for the season.
:) Maybe in another 10 years we'll be able to call ourselves native Oregonians....
I think you're right about the heat. Which will mean, I think, that we didn't hit the triple digits once this summer. No complaints here, but it really was an odd summer for weather.
