Today was supposed to be a partly sunny day. Once again, the TV weather wizards have failed. This morning was cloudy, with maybe three rays of sunlight peeking through..... and then the rain started after lunch today. The temperature is nearly 60 degrees, so that's a plus.
A plus? Our normal 'winter' temperature should be hovering around the 60-degree mark. Did someone change the weather rules for this state without asking anyone who lives here?
Drizzling rain.... all afternoon... but I got a lot done in the house. Tomorrow is our Christmas party, and I've spent most of the day arranging tables and chairs, centerpieces and favors, and cooking, cooking, cooking. We always have a pot-luck dinner for our big parties, but still, I'd rather cook more than I need because we never know who's bringing what.
Tomorrow night and Sunday night, it will be 32 degrees. Once again, the 60 degrees will disappear. With that in mind, I don't think our friends will be looking for a cold punch, so it will be hot apple cider for tomorrow night, and iced tea for those who insist on drinking something cold. Iced tea is like a staple in this state.... no one cares what the weather is doing..... without iced tea on the menu, it wouldn't be Texas.
Sort of like... without a mild winter with sweater-degree temperatures, it wouldn't be Texas. Maybe that's been the problem with the recent weather...... someone has stretched the state's boundary lines and moved us all further north.
Get those red shoes on...... click the heels three times.... and maybe we'll all end up back in a warm Texas winter.
