Cold

The days and nights have continually gotten cooler and cooler. On Thursday it rained a little. Yesterday, Friday, it rained a lot.

The rain came down pretty hard, perhaps the hardest it's rained all year. Allie said it was going to snow and Santa Claus would come. She has been hoping lately for a gift-bearing holiday being; she has also said that the Easter (sometimes Beagle, sometimes Bunny) is going to come on Halloween, and that Santa Claus is going to bring her a basket. Anyway, it rained a lot. I rode in my school's homecoming parade in an open truck bed trailer, and got pretty wet by the end of it. When I got home, I could see my breath for the first time this season. It got a little cold at night.

Today was a very cold day. It hasn't rained too much, but it's been overcast most of the day. But I'm excited about the cold. I love the arrival of autumn. Perhaps I just like a change in the weather; I also like it when spring is coming, but I think fall is my favorite time of year. Nothing seems more satisfying than staying inside the house while it is lightly dark (no oxymoron intended) and cold. Plus, the cold brings Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!
