It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance."

Fall is supposed to begin tomorrow, but you wouldn’t know that by the weather we are having and will be having for the rest of the week ~ we are going to be cracking the 90 degree mark! The air conditioner had to be turned on and it’s making me cringe because I can just see the money flying out of our wallets to pay the expense. Even the squirrels think that this is horrible weather for September…why just look at what he has to resort to to keep cool.
