Pass The Parcel Round 10 - WINNERS announced
Ha! 59F would be a warm summer day in my neck of the woods!!!
My last few days have all been hot for this time of year with a humid 87F, so the change overnight was a bit extreme for us thin-skinned folk ;)
I would kill for 87!! I’m not thick skinned at all & freeze my butt off year round!

Wow, that's actually colder than I was expecting you to say, especially since it's currently 59 F here and I'm wearing sweats and a hoodie! You took away my fun...I was going to give you a hard time for being a cold wimp (while freely admitting to being a heat wimp myself)!
Wow, everyone is having a cold snap. We got up to 56 today, but it is 47 and foggy now! We were in the 80s two days ago as well.
We're supposed to be back up around 80 by Sunday, but this time of year anything from 50 to 80 could be considered more or less normal, or at least not super abnormal. We almost always have some 80s in May, but often some cold, rainy weather too. Most of the month generally lands somewhere in between...
Low 90s here today...if not for the wind it probably would have been a bit hotter.But, yeah, it's a dry heat...like that matters when it's this freaking hot already. *sigh*
It’s 53 here. I’m wearing shorts. 😂😂😂 I swear we need to move somewhere warmer like Colorado.

We're a chilly 61 here. Which is in my mind quite on the colder side. But then again it was 80 yesterday. Clouds rolled in today for a change and I've been loving it. :)

We've warmed up to 68F here, and I'm still fully rugged up ;)

LOL. I want all of your weather. It was a high of 100 today and has been triple digits all week. I’m so jealous!

Arizona. Wise choice :)
How funny. I'm from Arizona, currently live in Oregon but am on vacation, first we were in Seattle and now Idaho. A bit rainy at first but today a lovely 75. I'll take that any day of the week!!
