Autumn Breaks
I'm pretty happy with the break in the weather. It seems that our spate of 110 degree heat index has abated for the year. None too soon for me.Being a creature of the coolness I prefer to throw on an additional garment for warmth than to shed them for coolness.
The various splashes of color which enhance the landscapes are simply an added bonus. The local leaves have nothing on those of my childhood ... like Blackfoot, Idaho around the second grade or so.
I have a number of cohorts who are lamenting the cooler weather just as I am happier about it. To each their own and it takes all kinds of us to make a world.
October is half done and the advent of the holiday season bears down on me — anxiously awaiting. I could use a little more in the way of good cheer which has escaped me; probably washed off me in the sweat of recent days.
As my old friend Jerry Landry used to rail about the "oppressive" white hot August sun back in our Navy days, I too have acquired a disdain for all the heat indigenous to the area.
Could the rude yankee in me be awakening after all these years?
