Seriously, Mother Nature, what's up with the 90-degree heat wave the last week in October? Even by Florida standards that's warm. Granted there was the 93-degree heat wave last year but that was during the first week in October.
We don't have a drastic change in seasons down here but we do celebrate our moderate change with certain rituals and customs. By Halloween I want to be able to do the following:
I want to turn off the A/C in the house and open all the windows.
I want to drive to and from work with my windows down.
I want to let my hair air-dry and not look like Stands-With-A-Fist.
I want to make great big pots of chili, cassole, and saurkraut stew.
I want to wear jeans and long sleeves.
Dare I say it? I want to wear a thick, warm sweaters at night.
But alas the forecast calls for 90 degrees again today. October is almost over. Our traditional chili dinner on Halloween might be delayed a week. November, all my hopes are now on you.

Last night was one of our neighbor's annual Hoosiers movie night, complete with chili and beer soup. And it was 85 outside. Not exactly fall weahter here either. The chili was good, but definietly didn't want a second bowl since it was so warm out.
My dad in Jersey said he's been raking up 8 garbage cans of acorns every 2 weeks from the big oak tree in our front yard, so he's expecrting a very cold snowy winter. I guess we get the warm weather to compensate.
