Okay, so I've been on a work sabbatical and it feels weird to be back on this Monday evening. I don't know that I've ever had so much consecutive time off from work, but it feels good to be back in the weather office and I can honestly say, I started to miss my job a little. I really didn't do anything that exciting, but I did venture out to Colorado with Millie and we did some hiking outside of Colorado Springs. There is so much to see and do in the mountains that it would be nearly impossible to get bored out there. In all of my trips into the Rockies, I have yet to go camping, but I know it would be fun. I'm sure I wouldn't sleep very good because I would have this constant fear of a bear attack. The weather was so nice at 10,000 feet, but then again we can't complain here in Kansas because we've been spoiled this summer with several 80 degree days.
Our weather looks rather quiet for the rest of the week. Temperatures will warm back into the 90s by the middle of the week, and some areas will be near 100 by the end of the work week. It's good weather for those trying to put hay for cattle, but it's hard on the fescue lawns. At any rate, fall will be here before we know it, so I guess we should enjoy these last weeks of summer. Hard to imagine some kids start school next week. The summers sure fly by.

Millie looks so HAPPY on her hike! I'm sure ya'll had a blast! Great Pictures! Definately good to have you back, I'm jealous, LOL.
I haven't heard anything about the meteor shower (Perseid shower) that is supposed to start tonight and go into the wee hours of Wednesday. Do you anticipate it being clear enough for us to see. I know we will already have a harder time with the moon outshining the fainter meteors as it is high right now. I'm such a night owl, I know what I'm doing tonight, whether permiting. Any updates you have, love to hear them.
Hey Ross did you take time last evening/morning to watch the meteor shower? I did, it was a nice evening for it, too bad the moon was so bright though. I went out into the country and got into the bed of my pickup to watch the show. I stayed out until about 2am and saw a lot of meteors. I bet the peak hours would have been even better! I hope others got a chance to enjoy it and the nice weather.
I haven't yet seen Millie on the air, but my teacher friends were telling me about her.
Colorado - sounds like fun for all! Did you meet up with Jason?
Hard to believe that school is starting back up already! Just think, kids of all ages (pre-school up thru college kids in the dorms) are probably making new friends this week...
Keep up the good work, and keep doing what you're doing to maintain this cool stretch of weather!
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
