      Countdown to Christmas all.  How is all the Christmas preparation coming?  Larry and I have had a couple of Christmas potlucks which are awesome.  We have gone to some Christmas programs and still have more to go to with the grandkids.  Isn’t that what it is all about.  We had another cold weekend.  Lows below zero.  Larry has kept the stoves all going.  I see this morning he is cleaning one up to run better.  Sunday, we had -10 accurate temperature with wind chills colder than that.  But the sun was out in the clear blue sky so that helped.  Now you see we are having a warmer trend.  With this we will all appreciate the warmer temperatures even at 20 degrees.  Stay warm yet and stay safe. 
Here is what our week is going to be like WARMING up.
Warming Trend Ahead for Iowa 🌡️
High pressure sliding off to the southeast through today (Sunday) will allow winds to turn southerly, pulling warmer air north into the region.
📅 Monday: High temperatures will range from the upper 20s across northeast Iowa to the mid 40s in southwest Iowa.
📅 Tuesday & Wednesday: High temperatures will warm into the upper 30s across the northeast half of Iowa, with mid 40s to near 50 degrees expected in southwest Iowa.
This warming trend will likely lead to snow melting, especially Tuesday and Wednesday as above-normal temperatures settle in. by Iowa Storm Watchers
 
Australia family and friends our thoughts with you as you had that Bondi Beach shooting.  It is sad.  You are wondering how Sydney is to where the family and friends of Sale are.  801 km (498 miles)  The distance from Sale, Australia to Sydney is approximately 801 km (498 miles) by road. The driving time is around 8 hours and 45 minutes. The straight-line distance is about 601 km (374 miles).  Our thoughts and prayers with all.        

Your weather today for Dec. 16 Tuesday will have a high of 72F(22C) mostly cloudy for them.  Dew point is 45F(7C) so it is getting more humid for their summer.  Stay cool, stay safe
I am posting some of the Friends of Sale Botanic Gardens pictures of their peacock.  We saw them when we were there.  Good memories.  Enjoy some summer pictures with color.
