Oh it's such a perfect day...
This morning I woke at 7:30 with a huge Texas thunderstorm going on outside. Wind, lightning, thunder, and torrential rain... my favorite! I went back to sleep and slept until 11:00. Sleeping is my favorite thing to do in this weather, besides drink tea (which I can't do right now, since someone used all the milk making pistachio pudding). It's still overcast, drizzly, and 66 degrees! Perfect.

October is tied with April as my favorite month. You see, I love spring and fall. They're both damp and colorful... green in springtime, and orange/red/yellow in fall. I really miss the leaves turning back home... Arkansas autumn can rival New England autumn for the prettiest leaves. One thing October has in its favor over April is Halloween. We haven't really decided what to do or what costume to wear yet this year. I think we're going to miss pumpkin carving with our friends in Austin, too, which is a shame. I doubt we will have a jack o' lantern at all this year, since we really have no place to put it. Still, yay October! Someone get me some apple cider!
