Too Early To Be This Cold

I am going to jump on the "complaining about winter encroaching on fall" bandwagon now. It is simply to early in November to be this cold.

Gracie insisted on digging out her earmuffs, scarf and mitten to wait for the bus this morning. I kept how ridiculous I thought she was being, and I am glad I did--as I shivered waiting along beside her I kept thinking over and over: good grief it is cold!

One of the perk about living in the south, and now that we have moved even further away from snow was that the warm lasted until nearly mid-December.

I was robbed.  It seems I am usually denied the three full months of my favorite season.  The first year we were here temperatures were still int he 80's until November and summer wouldn't let go. Now, winter is putting his "icy hands" on my season.

Guess there is not much I can do about it.. you know besides complain.  And, be thankful for the shelter of our first "house," the warm coats that I can buy for my children, and the fact that despite the flurries yesterday there is still NO snow on the ground.

Amen.
