Autumn cometh

Last week was the first day of fall.


On the second day of fall, it decided to get cool. By cool, I mean highs in the 80s, low humidity. Days that make me wonder why I hate Florida so very much. It didn't last long, but we've been taking advantage of the outdoors anyhow. We rebricked the front porch, so we now in fact have a front porch. Spencer has enjoyed playing in the front yard, referreeing watching the older boys play football in the street and yelling "touchdown" at random intervals. "Ta-dow!" We opened the windows and turned off the a/c ... for a few hours.

It's marvelous. Of course, by the weekend it was back into the 90s, but there's still no humidity so it's bearable. We weeded the front flower bed and cut back the overgrowth in the middle of the palm trees so I can see if there are random children coming toward me when I back out of the driveway. This is not to say I'll stop, just that I'll know they're there.

I can't wait for more than 2 days in a row of the pretty weather.
