July 12

I'm a little more than halfway through this year's temperature blanket, and I like it so far.

Each five-degree block of temperatures is represented by a different color, and each row represents a single day. While it's fairly common to choose warmer colors (like yellow or orange) for hot temperatures and cooler shades (like blues and purples) for cold temps, I went with an entirely blue/green palatte for this one. I was thinking as I added the row for yesterday's high temp that it should make a nice winter cuddle blanket for the family room.

So today, even though it's hot outside, I'm grateful for items that provide warmth when it's cold.
