I love every season in its time, and try to enjoy it accordingly. Summer in southeast Texas, however, is difficult to enjoy. Its too hot for too long, with no respite in the evenings or mornings, and even when it rains, the air doesn't cool off. It just hangs heavy with even more humidity.
So today, when the promised "cold front" blew in and chilled the morning off considerably, I was not sad. The girls were excited to dress in long sleeved blouses and pull out their new sweaters. Sophie wore leggings and a fall dress to Miss Mimi's house, happy to be bundled in the new chill.
I have decided autum is my new favorite season, with it's chillier air, and savory smells of pumkin candles and baking bread. The cooler temperatures stir up my innate desire to bake all kinds of goodies, and the kids get excited about the trip to the pumkin patch. It's a wonderful season, with warm memories being made and preparations for the holidays that are coming 'round the corner. It'll be great weather, fun times and cool autumn community events. Great weather, that is, until the cold front blows over and out and the temps hit the 90's again, with the "feel" being in the hundreds!
