Weather like this

is what we here on the Texas Gulf Coast wait for all through July, August, and September.  As we sweat and swat mosquitoes, we remind ourselves that eventually it will be October and November.  We know that we will be able to open the doors and windows, go outside without sun block or insect repellant.  Beautiful days and nights cool enough for a quilt.  Gives me energy to clean out the garage...or at least think about cleaning out the garage.  DH and I are planning another birding trip Thanksgiving week--going down the coast toward Corpus Christi and on to Brownsville.
