THE SUMMER THAT WOULD NEVER END,,,

They've had snow a couple of days back in Abilene, and my friend Gayla hates to be cold. But we here are just finishing up summer by having a week of rain to inaugurate in the Fall. For Gayla, our life from about May 2007 until September 2008 would be a dream come true; it's been pretty much one long summer and early Fall. 

Why? Summer 2007 was followed by Fall 2007 in Abilene (true, there were a few cold days, even some snow, but for purposes of this blog, we'll call it Fall). Then we moved here, where it was HOT summer again; now it's beginning to be early Fall; then we'll return to Abilene in time for summer again to be followed by Fall—yet AGAIN!

Not only are our seasons a bit wacker-doodle, but our time is also. We are 4 hours ahead of those of you who are in Texas today, but tomorrow, when you Spring Forward for Daylight Saving Time, we will Fall Back (because Fall is beginning here!); thus, we will only be two hours later than you guys for the rest of our time in Uruguay.

Yesterday we had 4 glorious inches of honest to goodness snow. We built a 6 foot snowman WITH NO GRASS!! He is Norman, the Viking. The snow was the best we have had in at least 5 years. As Tara put it, "Calvin Snow."

So, this week in Texas, I could have tanned in 80+ weather Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. We had snowstorms Monday and Thursday. Bit cloudy today, just for a fun mix.

I really do hate to be cold and enjoyed the 70+ weather we had today. I would enjoy a continous summer. Right now it is raining and hailing and Whitney is driving home from church, but she went to a friend's house and is staying there until the rain stops. Weird weather.
