I am sitting here absolutely engulfed in the wonderful orchestral arrangement nature is producing by way of a very drenching rain. It is heavenly. I long for cooler temperatures, and just to see some clouds. Call me crazy, but frankly sunshine gets annoying after a while. It's just always...the same. We are supposed to get some cool weather up and down the next 10 days, varying from the low-mid 70's, then in the 80s here or there. I long to pull out that cool weather wardrobe. Did you know, that people down here think it's odd to have a Fall/Winter and a Spring/Summer wardrobe? Granted, I have worn shorts on occasion in January, so they don't get put away very far, but oh to throw on a pair of jeans and not be overheating in them!
I was just taking a break from actually doing some projects around the house to troll for Christmas gift ideas. I think I actually have some good ones (for the girls) this year! Family, be ready. I'll let you know soon. I actually have a few ideas of what to get some people myself. I would prefer to have all of my shopping done by Thanksgiving, if not much sooner. I like to enjoy the holidays without the looming thought of spending money in the back of my mind. But, the thrifster in my gets ticked when something I bought in October is now on mega-sale because of the holiday season. So then, I usually post pone the shopping, and then keep waiting for better sales, and get frustrated because I have no time and am rushing at the last minute. Maybe I'll do things differently this year....
In the meantime, here's a flashback photo from this same weekend last year.
Poor Clara. With that wild hair and countless chins and the cheeks a chipmunk would find very useful, her baby pictures are more funny looking than "aww...". I hope she'll forgive me, I did try.
