They say not to worry if you don’t like the weather in Tennessee. In 15 minutes, it will change.

It might not be quite that temperamental, but the weather definitely has a mind of its own! This morning it was in the 70s, but by this evening we had a freeze alert. It’s hard to know how to dress for ever-changing weather like this.

I’m pulling out the sweaters and sweatshirts this weekend.
