Sleepin' In?

It is Saturday, and that means starting the day at a leisurely pace, right? Well...maybe. I was awake at about 7:30am, while Kay was up and going about 5! She said that she just couldn't sleep, so she got up, ordered prints of some pictures for Beth to take to school, cleaned up pots and dishes from last night's dinner, started cooking for a gathering of church friends and neighbors tomorrow, and made coffee. I, on the other hand, after rising up and getting a cup of coffee, have done nothing! For the rest of the day I will be making a hospital visit to a church member who has complications from knee surgery, eating a pot luck lunch (for those who have never experienced the thrill of 78 different combinations of hamburger and macaroni just visit your nearest Lutheran church and there is probably one of these events going on right now!), mowing my lawn and grilling about 125 bratwurst for tomorrow. They will be bathed in a vat of sauerkraut tomorrow and gently warmed back to a mouth watering perfection.

It was cold this morning. The low temperature at Spokane International was 48 degrees, while at the Deer Park Airport, just east of town, it got down to 36 degrees! The sun has been pretty abundant this morning, although there were a few patches of fog earlier. Some clouds will form into the afternoon as the air aloft is still quite chilly. It will be a partly sunny afternoon with the high temperature around 72 or 73 degrees. Tonight will be another nippy one with a sunny and warmer day tomorrow. Sunday will start down in the 40s again, and yes, there will be 30s in the usual cold pockets. You folks that live in them know what I am talking about. The afternoon temperatures will climb to the mid and upper 70s, with a few places touching 80. Summer is not over yet though, as a high pressure ridge builds over us next week the heat will be on again. We should be back into the 90s by Wednesday, and pretty close to it on Tuesday.
