Welcome back!

Isn’t August supposed to be in the fall, or nearly there?

I can’t tell it by this heat that we have going here in Texas. When fall comes, the leaves start to change, people start to shop for things they will need in the winter, snow boots, winter coats, yata, yata, yata. Well, I guess that it is not yet fall. If someone walked into a store and asked about any of those things the sales people would think they were totally nuts.

The weather people refused to say that it is going to have a slight cool spell, because the temperature will only drop from 100 to 99. That’s a drop? Who are they trying to kid?

That is what we’ve been having lately. I heard that even over in Russia, there is heat. They have also been having forest fires.

I am more than ready for some cooler weather. I mean that guys do not want to wear mens ties, suits, and other stuff when it is so hot that the grass crackles. I do not like to hear the sound of potato chips when I walk across the grass.

The sooner that fall comes, the happier that I will be. I am not a summer person and all of this heat is getting to me.

Yes, did I mention the rain?

Well, a humid atmosphere is supposed to be good for the complexion. So….Texas must be full of people with good complexions, right? No need to look for the best acne treatment, no need for the cover-up makeup to cover zits.

Well, maybe. All of the heat means that not only is the weather humid, but it is also hot. Maybe I should say STEAMY and get done with it. Steamy means that people like me will sweat.

Did you know that in the past, people would say that men sweat, and women glow? I guess that they never saw me in action. I could make a horse get embarrassed since it doesn’t sweat as much.

Yes, clouds in the sky, rain drops falling….

IT IS SOGGY OUTSIDE.

I have heard that the celebrations will go on anyway. Soggy people ahoy!

Well….the plants do need the rain.

I look out my window, and what do I see?
White flakes of snow falling down on the city.
I think of snow plows, scrapers and more.
I think of insurance quotes, and opening the door.
I think of snow angels, snow balls, and slush.
The next thing I know, my husband says shush.
He doesn’t like snow, he just hates the cold.
He wants me to shut up and not open the door.
I want to go sledding, I want to play.
He says wait for tomorrow, don’t go today.
I wait for tomorrow, and open the door.

There ain’t no snow, it melted away.

It is raining right now., The lightning was oing on earlier so had to turn everything off. No fun.

Went out and got soggy. At least I didn’t ge the carpet soggy when I came it. If it was tile flooring, it would be easier to clean up, but this apartment has carpeting right near the front door.

some of the apartments are without power right now. The electric company is circling the block trying to figure out where the interruption is so they can fix it. Meanwhile, people are not happy. We are one of the few that have not lost power this time. That’s cool, except for the fact that we had to turn everything off because of the lightning. Oh well, at least we are dry.

If you live in Central Texas, you know that the title of this article is WAY understated. We got rain, then more rain, then it down poured.

Some areas ended up getting flooded. Salado Texas had quite a problem, but Thank God, no one got hurt. The town is open again. The rain has gone down stream. I hope that it does not cause problems to who ever gets the water next.

It is said on the TV, if you do not like the weather, just wait and it will change. YUP

Yup, everyone know that. Not a whole lot of people actually pay attention to it except for whether or not they have to wear a coat when they go out.

One thing I know the apartment manager where we live does is to change the furnace filters for each season. It does help with the AC bill and in the winter it does help with the heating bill.

What about with peoples’ cars? Don’t they need to have things changed there too? I guess so. Most of the time we don’t worry about that for each year we might be driving a different car or vehicle. Not new, just changed out for a different one. If old cars are finally taken off of the road, what will poor people drive? The new cars do not seem to last as long as the older models. Talk about a change of seasons.

I am talking about rain here. Or, should I say lack of rain.

I have no desire to roast, but I wonder about our electric bill. We live in an apartment that is very well insulated, so it isn’t as bad as it could be. The central air does a good job cooling, as I said , it takes electricity.

The heat wave is continuing.

We have been asked to cut down on electricity.

In Florida, the NASA program has had to hold off on a launch. Too bad they cannot send the rain our way.
