Good morning from rainy Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's a beautiful autumn day today. I know autumn is still a few days away, but the temperature is cooler today, in the 60s, and we have rain, something we need badly. So, no sun today. I know most people associate beautiful days with sunshine. Not me. I'll take the rain over the sunshine any day as we need the rain so badly. Today will be a light day. I have an exercise class in half an hour. Then it's catching up on the notifications and working on a book. I decided not to ditch Ecstasy. It will take a lot of work and revision before I get this one ready to publish. In the meantime, I'll work on Faith to Believe and A Score to Settle. It will keep me busy. Yesterday was the beginning of football season. Okay, it started last Thursday, but they played most of the games yesterday and there's one tonight. The good news is that the Pack won. We had our season opener against the Bears on their home field. From comments from the announcers, I got the feeling the Bears thought it would be a walk in the park for them to beat the Packers, who have a new quarterback. I think he showed them who owns the house. The Packers stomped the Bears 38-20. Yes, there was noise in my apartment during the game. Other than the game, I went to church in the morning and watched my shows until game time. I also worked out on the foot cycle during the first quarter of the game. I was going to work out for the entire first quarter, but I was done in 35 minutes. The first quarter took 45 minutes. I'm moving slowly this morning. We'll see how well I do on the bike this morning. Okay, that's my weekend and plans for today. How is your day going? How was your weekend? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Another throwback football picture.

It sounds like you had a good Sunday. My team won as well which is always happy, however they didn't play very well, and if the other team had been better they would have lost. It makes me nervous for the rest of the season. The sports analysts only have them winning 6.5 games thiese season, and with the way they played yesterday, I can believe it.

@just4him So am I. Maybe they need a new defensive coach.

@snowy22315 It's only the first game. I'm sure the coaches will work with them in the areas they need it most.

I'm glad the temperature where you are is cooler. It's still over the average temperature for September here, but it is a bit cooler than it has been. I hope it cools down properly soon. I'm glad you have rain. We have had a bit of rain here too, but it's still been hot. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Have a nice day.

It was 56F when I watered plants on the front porch this morning at 6 am... We're supposed to reach 78F today if the expected storms don't knock that temp down before it reaches that high. It sprinkled here most of the night but didn't rain up onto the front porch. I hope you have a wonderful day today.

It was the same here at 6 this morning. It's only supposed to get to 64 today with scattered showers. Thank you. I expect it will be good. I hope your day is good too.

The Cleveland Browns won on Sunday; so all is good. Glad your team won. We should be getting some heavy rain by about 7 am; so you probably have already had some rain which is good. Have a good day.

Not yet, but I talked to someone while walking and he said we're supposed to get some later. We'll see. We have dark clouds. Now all we need is rain. I'm glad they won.

@LindaOHio None yesterday, but I didn't think it was in the forecast. Should get some tonight. We'll see. It's isolated so it might be a miss.

Well now, you know my preferred weather is white. I have a little while to wait for that. However, I will enjoy the rain today.

Glad to her that your Packers won and that you had a good weekend. I had company on Saturday which was fun and Sunday was just a relaxing day. Today life is back to normal

I'm glad today is back to normal. You could say life is back to normal here now that football season is back. It was a really good game. Thanks.

Sounds like good plans for the day. Light days are always nice. I will get a workout in too, and probably help my mom mow again later.

Mowing is a workout in itself.

@just4him It can be. But my mom had taken care of it last night so didn't have to help
