Fall is in the Air

Okay, maybe it's not fall but it sure feels nice here in North Texas! A cool/mild/bland front blew through the summer high that has camped over my neighborhood for seven weeks and it, honestly, feels cool outside. Cool still being 87 degrees, of course! But after a high of 107 yesterday... yeah. I have my outdoor fountain hooked up under my arbor and flowing each evening under strands of lights and I plan to spend several hours outside the next few evenings, basking in 70-degree temperatures and picking my six-string. Played a few personal favs the other night. Christmas tunes. Oh yeah.

Wait a minute, is that the sound of sleigh bells I hear in the distance........?

P.S. — If you see the trees turning color with the leaves falling gently to the soil below and the calendar says August, don't be confused. Fall has not arrived. It's just another good 'ol Texas summer. And those leaves? Poor things died of thirst, they did.
