So Long, Sweet Summer

 

Growing up in Kansas, people would often say something like "If you don't like the weather here, just wait 5 minutes and it will change!"  People in Nebraska and Indiana say this, too.  In Waiting for Guffman, the mayor of a small town in Missouri mentions the same saying, but thinks with hard work, he believes they could get that down to 3 or 4 minutes.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is a saying everywhere.  Do people say this in Michigan?  Texas?  South Carolina?  Probably not in Alaska or Hawaii, right?  Is this a saying where you live?  I'm just curious if all the states think their weather is more ridiculous than everywhere else.  We all want to be special, I guess.

I think it is safe to say that summer days are gone for this year.  I really do love the fall, but winter always makes an appearance too soon.  I'm half hoping we have another mild winter, but just harsh enough to kill all the bugs.  We had a very buggy summer and I'm not down with that at all.

Wearing the Pants

I recently realized I haven't worn pants since I started this blog.  I just really prefer dresses and skirts, I guess, and jeans, but those are in a different category.  So, without any further ado, here's evidence that I do, in fact, own pants:

It's also "S for Sheer" day over at the ABC challenge.  I don't have very many sheer items, so I mostly had to pick between this shirt and one other.

I felt a little boring, so I grabbed my hot pink scarf to add some color. 

Go check out the other S for Sheer looks here.
