A brief showing of blue sky this morning quickly closed off leaving nothing much but clouds in place. Seems to be what we’re going to get today. Tomorrow might be a good day to be out and about tending to outdoor things…and next Tuesday, which sounds even better. Those dry, fairly bright days are in the minority and will likely stay that way. Anyone wanting to put up Christmas lights in November comfort might want to be paying attention. And haven’t those of us who put up Christmas lights learned the hard way how unfortunate it is to wait until December weather is hard on us to take care of such things? Might not light them until after Thanksgiving – and I’m one of the keep the holidays apart and spectacular in their own right folk – but having them in place and ready in relative comfort seems smart to me.
