In St. Louis we say if you don't like the weather...just wait a day. It is forever changing. And Gulf Shores, well, the same could be said this week anyway.
In the course of five days we have had cloudless skies and 70 degrees with water so quiet the surface was glassy; raging winds, white capped waters and 20 degree weather and today....sitting here this morning with windows and doors open, a bit of rain overnight which brought soft fog rolling in this morning making a monochromatic landscape out our windows, unable to see where the water stops and the sky begins.
The cold over the weekend combined with the wind was brutal, Saffire just couldn't stay warm enough to be comfortable without being budled up while we were inside. Sleeping was great, sticking my toes out first thing in the morning another story.
Friends Jeanne and Janis have taken their cards and dice and moved on to make their way back to their North Carolina homes. And Diane, the friend I traveled west with this fall, is arriving Friday to stay the rest of February. She and Deb and I have plans for a lot of golf and biking while she is here. We have to do something to offset all this great seafood we're eating!
When Teddy and I manage to get around today I'm going off for a bike ride and hope Deb wants to play some golf too!
I heard about the cold at dinner the other night. Do you keep an electric heater in Saffire? If not, I'll tell you the best and the quietest one to have. You might as well save your propane and just let your furnace supplement--don't think it will have to with this heater.
ReplyDeleteI have a DeLongi radiator style oil heater which has kept us toasty warm. 45 mile an hour winds whistling unchecked through the camper with 20 degree temps was just too much for anything!
