Augtember

As I watch September nearing an end...

I think back to August and am unable to truly differentiate

For you see my friend

The temperature today is predicted to be a "cool" ninety-eight.

The crispness is not felt, but is heard in the air

it is provided by the crunching of grass beneath my feet

my lawn is to the point where I think it just does not care

I water and water until the green does meet

Talk of fall and pumpkin spice

does not interest me

Sweet tea with lots of ice

Good ol' Tex Mex is what I want to see

August and September

One month just blends in to the other 'round here

It seems to have been hot as long as I can remember

Thank God for AC - Amen, let out a cheer

I am used to the heat

and truly grateful for the winters we see

with no deep snow or cold icy mess, they just can't be beat

I am looking forward to the 70s and 80s of December and January......

I can't lie, if it happens to come in a rush, I won't mind....
