Octavius at the Park The Prudent Homemaker

I’ve lived in Las Vegas for 18 years, and every year, the wind comes in on Halloween or the day before, bringing a drastic drop in temperature and signaling the end of warm days for the year.

According to the weather predictions, the same was set for this year. Sunday it was 84°F. Wednesday it was a high of 70°F and temperatures in the 60’s were predicted for next week–a pretty normal situation for this time of year.

Then everything changed, and we had a high of 80°F today.

We went to the library, then had a picnic and went to play in the park. 

I’m thankful for the beautiful weather and the opportunity we had to do these things today.

 

What are you thankful for today?

  1. I’m thankful for my health and that of my husband and children. Being healthy is easy to take for granted. Thank you for continuing to blog even though you are terribly busy with children in all stages of life. We are very fortunate to be able to educate our children as we deem best, I’m glad you were able to bring yours home.

  11. Brandy, my best friend in Palmdale, CA told me the very same thing about her weather. She said that it is utterly predictable that it will cool dramatically on Halloween, but this year, they were running the a/c on Sat. or Sun.!!

    As for thankful, as I tackled a crazy amount of laundry that built up over a busy week/weekend, I was very grateful for machines to be my *servant girls* (ref to Prov. 31!) and help me out. I’m still drip drying, folding, etc., but this would’ve taken DAYS just 75 yrs. ago!
