38º outside as I start this at 10:30 am on Monday the 19th.  And that is COLD for this area.

This was the forecast for Saturday -- and it did get to 87º here with bright sunshine and lots of wind.  Yesterday morning (Sunday) about 3 am the wind from the north struck and the mobile home shook slightly.  I looked at the temperature outside and it was 70º.  When we got up about 7 am it was 44º with lots and lots of north wind.

These photos were taken from my seat in the choir section as the people gathered for the service.
