So, our good friend Carol made us a few things to help us survive the frigid Iowa winters: car scrapers with wool sleeves to keep your hands cold! She knows all too well how cold it can get up north in the Norse country.
Regardless, thanks Carol! We (obviously) appreciate them and look forward to using them…likely…daily… 🙂
We ended up having to use the A/C a bit last week, but thankfully the temps have dropped to more reasonable levels. The lows this week are in the 40 F to 50 F range, so we won’t be needing it anymore, we hope. Honestly, I’m ready to unpack some long-sleeved items and move into the Fall, though I’d rather delay the snowfall until closer to never. Granted, in moving to Iowa, we knew that snow would end up being a bigger deal than it ever was in St. Louis (or the entirety of Missouri, for that matter), but it would be nice to get an extended period of “Fall” this year rather than jump directly into Winter.
Either way, I think we’re both ready to go with some cooler weather. We just hope it holds at “cooler” rather than “freezing” for a month or two. At least we’ve got some nice, warm, window scrapers to tide us by!
