The past few weeks we have had unseasonably warm weather.  Lots of sun, no rain, and temperatures more typical of July than October.  Some people complained about the warm weather.  But not me.  I embraced global warming.  I am sure Al Gore is sending me hate mail right now.

But while people were complaining I think we all collectively forgot that once it decided to get cold it was just going to snap back to it’s regular should have been temperatures.  No easing into the cooler weather a few degrees at a time.

I had planned this week to go apple picking and to a corn maze.  The driving rain kept us home.  Oh, I suppose we could have been brave and gone anyway with umbrellas and rain boots.  But, my sanity is too delicate (the mud, the laundry, the dirt tracked in after the “fun”), plus I love my eyeballs (which you know are in constant danger when people 4ft tall are carrying umbrellas).

So far I have not turned the heat on, though I am lustfully eying the wood burning stove, as I sit here typing at my desk with a sweater pulled around me.

This weekend we have three baseball games, if I can’t have warm, hopefully it will at least be sunny.
