Have you ever been given a job and you are bewildered how to begin?? Well, I am a part-time blogger and, sad to say, have run out of clever little stories to write about. That is pretty sad considering I have only written 8 or 10 blogs! I have written about grandkids, girl friend week-ends, vacation trips, Christmas shopping, etc. I think the only thing I have not written about is the weather. So here goes…
For you people not familiar with Texas weather, it can all be summed up in 2 words … hot&hotter. We start out with a beautiful Spring; temperatures in the mid 70’s. Then you blink your eyes and the thermometer is topping 90+. I’m not sure what happens to those beautiful Spring days in the low 80’s, but I think some other state has stolen them from us.
Spring in Texas consists of hot days and every allergen in the air that you can think of except for polar bear dander. This has been our worst allergy season in years and I have the red swollen eyes to attest to that. In the office you can hear sneezes from every corner and you would think there hasn’t been a sale in months because of all the red, teary eyes. The thing about our Spring is that you can count on the fact that it won’t last long (seems like minutes) and that our beautiful hot oppressive summer is right around the corner. I sound like I am complaining, but I really am not. I would much rather have this weather than 20 below in the winter – I guess it is that old story of to each his own.
So here is my take on weather: enjoy every day, no matter what the weather and remember from Spring showers come beautiful flowers.
Oh, I just remembered, I have not written about marriage – that will be a long one as I have been married forever, so I will save that for another day. I will leave you a little hint: Marriages are made in Heaven, but so are Thunder and Lightening. Oh, that ties in with my weather report. I’m just so clever.
