Fifteen Degrees

That’s what my computer claims the outdoor temperature is at the moment.  Fifteen degrees.  That is cold.  Down right frigid. No matter where you are, fifteen degrees is more than moderately brisk. Even if my computer is wrong and, instead, my indoor-outdoor thermometer (which claims the temperature outside my house is twenty-four degrees) is right, it’s cold.  I am ready for the temperatures I came to love in the Fall and early Winter. Nighttime lows in the thirties and forties, daytime highs in the fifties or sixties.  That’s the kind of weather I could get used to.  In fact, I did get used to it.  Highs in the seventies would be OK.  Just passing the word, in case the weather mavens and the climatic activities that do their bidding are listening and find it in their hearts to be kind to  me.
