Rainy Days in Texas


Hello all!

It's been QUITE some time since I've been on my page. It seems I get caught up on Facebook and Myspace, and I forget about this page.


Today, it is a quiet rainy day in Temple, Texas. It smells fresh outside; the air is cool (finally!) and it's just refreshing! All summer the weather has hovered around 110 and now with the air cooler at about 70 it has made a difference in my energy level. Seems I'm getting a lot more done each day.


I'm attending college for the first time in my life. Yes, I'm a college freshman attending our local school. For my first semester I am enjoying taking classes and the challenges it provides for my brain. It's been quite a while since I've been in school, but so far, I feel as though I'm accomplishing all my tasks at a good pace.


Autumn is my favorite time of year and even in Texas, when it rains the wind and water in the trees outside my window make a beautiful sound. The rustle of the leaves and the fresh fragrance of the air is refreshing to my soul. I guess when a Chicago Gal moves to Texas, you still long for the crispness of the season. I know the colors don't change like the Midwest, but just knowing that it's the quiet, reflective season of the year, makes me want to curl up with a book, put on a big pot of homemade soup and chill.


Happy Autumn!
