Brrr......

There is apparently a saying. Texas has the largest state fair in the US and it's quite a thing if you live the the DFW area. Apparently, once the fair closes, that is the time of year when it gets cold and stays cold. I don't remember about previous years, but let's just say this. The fair closed for the year yesterday, when it was a nice 80 degrees. Today, it was 50 degrees. Of course, all I was thinking was.....

Man, I need to knit a hat.....and maybe some fingerless gloves......

It would be nice if it stayed this way for a while. This summer in Texas has been VERY mild, maybe only a handful of over 100 degree days. That's saying something since I come from West Texas where we have six WEEKS of 100 degrees days.

But I am certainly jealous of some of ya'll who get these pretty color changing trees. We don't really get that....ours is more like the stuff that got burned up over the summer falls off. It's all very brown....

If you need to check out some pretty color changing, I hear Leigh's got some of that.....and some very tangled yarn.....

You have my sympathy for living in an oven.
If it where me I'd move, I hate the heat. I know I bitched about us not having a summer this year but even when we do it never gets into 3 figures, well hardly ever, 1976 and 1985 where the hottest I can remember.

I was very excited to go to New England to see the colors as I felt we were gyped out of a fall last year in Texas. Brown leaves falling off in December is *not* fall!
