I'm dreaming of Fall. A real New England or Pac Northwest glorious colorful crisp night air FALL.

I'll just have to keep dreaming as this Texas summer is fighting hard to stick around. We broke heat records this week when once again the temps climbed to 108. My yard looks like it is changing seasons but it is really just dead and my trees dropped their leaves months ago because of the severe drought.  I sure do miss the Autumns I experienced in Seattle. All the lovely reds, golds, oranges covering Mt Rainer in spectacular display. Sigh.

Today though we are blessed with a break in the sweltering temps. I have my windows open! My A/C bill is thankful! There is a small promise of rain for the next days. I pray it happens! My water bill would be most happy.
