With only 18 performance days left in the Passion Play season, it's time to start thinking of all the things we need to finish here in Arkansas and think about our winter plans in Colorado and "wherever". As we have experienced before, there is no way to really predict the weather more than a week or two in advance. While we did have a mild, fall-like month of August and early September, the past few weeks have been hot and muggy with feel-like temperatures of 100 and above. The chiggers seem to have a new hold on those susceptible to them and there have been mosquitos and spiders in greater size and numbers.
Our plans for November call for a return to Colorado to take care of licensing, inspection and other basic vehicle and personal necessities. It will also be good to see friends and family we have been away from for most of the past four years. Weather will be a major determinant of when we go and how long we stay. A couple from the Passion Play just returned from a motorcycle trip which involved a ride over Elk Mountain, Wyoming and something like seven inches of snow. That's not too far from Fort Collins and only a few thousand feet higher in elevation, so we need to be aware of what the weather prospects are for early November.
But, for now, we are basking in 84 degrees at 11:30am (feels like 99) with a high of 88 (feels like 101) later today and the prospect for much of the same until Wednesday when we are expecting 70's during the day and high 40's at night. July has returned to NW Arkansas. Not much we can do, but take it "one day at a time" make use of the air conditioning and heaters, as needed, do the tasks assigned, and plan for the contingencies of tomorrow and beyond. In all of it, we know God has it all figured out for our good and His glory. Thank You, Lord
