It's Fall Here in Austin

We have our seasons mixed up here. Yesterday, today and probably into the middle of next week it is the season of Fall. Yup, we pretty much skip that other Fall season from September to November. We do our raking in March! But is only lasts about a week and then we know the green buds are already forming for the new spring leaves and soon it will be....wait for it.....Live Oak pollen season!!

I got up at 7 this morning. Lord knows why. It is a curse that it is Saturday and I woke up at 7. I have already made coffee, folded laundry, turned the pool water off after running all night (ahem Steffi!), turned the air conditioning off after it has run all night set to the wrong temperature (ahem Steffi again!), fed the dogs, read the Chronicle, took pictures of fall, checked my email, checked other blogs, wrote this blog. And the newspaper is STILL not here. And the carrier wonders why I didn't send her a Christmas check this year.
