Hello, Fall




I made this a week or so ago, and for some reason just left it on the computer.  I think I forgot that I had a blog, briefly.  So here you go, internet.  Yet another thing that my head thought was funny enough to put into picture form.  Actually, I imagined a whole scene of these, with Miss Steak walking away from all manners of mashed meats...."What am I, Haggis"?  "What am I, Morcilla?"  Eventually, I have a feeling that she will meet Bacon (meat bacon?) and never look back.

It felt like fall yesterday, and when I was on my way to work today.  Right now I don't know how it feels, because I am inside.  But I assume it is still marvelous.

The thing about North Carolina is that I no longer feel I can get excited about the cooler days and start thinking that the weather has shifted and Fall is here, because they last two seconds before another set of hot days come.  Fall consists of a handful of perfect weather, then mostly a mixture of hot and humid (summer just will not give up the ghost) and torrential rain days.  Then all of a sudden it's winter.  Which, last year it wasn't really even ever winter...which was disappointing because the only reason there should be cold weather is if it is truly cold and I can wear all my cute tights and winter coats and not feel sweaty.

The other thing about North Carolina is that locals love to complain about the weather.  Which cracks me up...we all know it's dang humid and miserable and buggy in the summer, but people seem to savor the right to complain about it.

Probably time to end this break and keep doing important stuff, like looking out the window and wishing I wasn't at work.
