For one, everyone wears maroon and wonders how Mom could forget that Saturdays are Game Days for our dear ole Texas Aggies. Planning activities during games... unthinkable!
Time outside is becoming more and more pleasant: picnic dinners at the park, playgrounds, and lots of neighbor fun in the front yard.
Another small sign is the goose bumps on our arms when we still insist on swimming. It may not be miserable enough to stay out of the pool, but it's just cool enough to make us shiver.
And since Labor Day has come and gone, Mom cleaned our closets out of all summery stuff and pulled out the fall wear. I've refused to wear anything but long sleeves all week, but cry and complain about how hot I am once I've left the house. I got some special new boots, too. Ree, for her part, is wearing the fall fashions handed down to her with style. Mom keeps telling her she's a vision. I think she's a stinker. But that's another topic for another time.Last, fall time means baking! We made some homemade donuts today to cure the common heartache over missing Nana. I miss her often (even though I also see her often) and sometimes the only cure for that kind of hurt is sugar. With sprinkles!
