fall days



My calendar is a pathological liar. He says its November 17th.

I don't think so. If it were November 17th then it would mean that we are in the middle of fall. Which then means that the trees would be red and the chimneys would spout holiday smoke, while rainboots would become a fashion statement and scarves would be commonplace. BUT this is no so.

And i will tell you why.

1. people are still wearing summer dresses and shorts
2. people are still deciding what swimsuit to wear to the beach
3. weekend barbecues occur regularly
4. people are still wearing their rainbow flipflops
and finally
5. it is still 92 degrees outside.

THUS, my calendar must be lying because there is no such thing as 90 degree weather in the middle of november.

And so i will wait with my scarves and hot chocolate outside in that blazing sun until it becomes fall so i can prove my calendar wrong.
