It is that time of year again. Fall is slowly making it's way to my house. THANK THE GOOD LORD!! While being Southern by birth, I am accustom to certain things. We have the most beautiful flowers growing in the spring, and everything is a bright green and yellow. The yellow is the pollen. Summers are easy to forecast...Hot, Hazy, and Humid, with a chance of afternoon or evening thundershowers, some possibly sever (I may have said that before). Fall is a little different. Of course you have the leaves changing colors, but that really doesn't start for about another month. The first sign of Fall is the cooler nights. Most of the summer we were happy to have nights in the 70's. Well now we are having nights in the 60's. Oh the happiness this gives me. The days are a little cooler to. While this overjoys me, it does sadden me just a touch. Simply because, beach and flip flop weather is almost over.
However for a brief time, it will be shorts and long sleeve t-shirts, and of course flip flops. This helps heal the heart a bit.
I must admit to praying for snow again this winter. It was really nice playing in the snow with the family, then enjoying big bowls of snow cream. And of course homemade soup and chilli. NOM NOM NOM.
While I hate to see summer ending, I do look forward to all the fun and festivities and oh yeah food that come with cooler weather. Now to get rid of these blasted sniffles that have hit my nose, and well all of the boys in my house to. Oh well, this to shall pass.
