Our Corgi wants to spend time outside in the fresh air. Bushes in the yard have shiny leaves again, and fall flowers start to bud. Lake levels rise and the city's usually smoggy atmosphere breathes clean. Sidewalks and streets are slippery and windshield wipers tired. Our cars need washing.
I am one of the animals energized when the clouds let loose. Texas summer drought and heat exacts a toll on me, and I begin to wish for the cooler fall mornings long before they are due. Labor Day is the clue to the change of seasons in the Southwest. And before we know it Halloween and Thanksgiving are here and calling for kids and family, food and fun.
Thank goodness for this welcome weather.
