A Little Anxious

I'm a little anxious for the holiday season, starting with Halloween, of course. I think it might have something to do with it being 4000 degrees outside. Usually Halloween means a little cooler weather. If you're "lucky" enough to live in a state that has four seasons, you'll probably be enjoying cool weather long before October 31. I wouldn't live anywhere other than Texas, but sure would like to see some cool weather, say, tomorrow. You walk outside and practically melt.

I've lived in Texas all of my life (minus 2 years, one in Hawaii and one in Pennsylvania). I don't ever remember it being this hot. We just can't seem to catch a break this year. Everything is drying up. Our lawn has been crunchy for some time now and I'm afraid it might not ever recover. My beloved plants have taken a turn for the worse. It's not looking good.

So, I guess my light at the end of the tunnel, is Halloween. Of course, last year it was in the mid 80s during October, but at this point, anything below 100 sounds awesome!
