We haven't had much rain this summer, matter of fact we are over 7 inches behind in rainfall. Farmers are having to buy hay and their "stock tanks" (which is Texan for a small pond) have dried up. One of the last times it rained I took this picture. If you look close you can see that its raining outside.
I am looking forward to some rainy days. I like to bake when its rainy or cold or both. Snow really gets me excited. Must be from all those years growing up in snow. We use kerosene lamps a lot. I like the warm and cozy glow they give a room. It is rather silly to be using the computer by kerosene lamp light, but why not. Life is full of irony and it keeps us from being dull.
When the children were small, we would light the lamps, and they all would settle down, ask for a story or just play quietly. That snuggly feeling filled the house. That's a good feeling.

How soon can you expect some cool days? About how many do you get in an average year. Exactly what temp is considered "cool" down there? After snow on the ground for 5 straight weeks last winter I am not about to fret that it got up to 85 degrees here today. But it chills off quite a lot at night. We haven't used the furnace yet-just extra blankets. Been tempted though.

this heat is unusual for us this late. On average we get 12 days a year of 100 degrees. By the end of september its usually fall like. Oct can be time for the wood stove. We get one or two snows a winter, but they last a day or so. Pretty to look at but nothing that causes chaos.
