I’m figuring they must be since yesterday while grocery shopping at the local Fry’s I saw my first Christmas tree and a small display of Christmas decorations. And the Dunkin’ Donuts coffee I picked up had a Christmas tree on it – I’m guessing a leftover from last year. Still, you’d think they’d at least wait until Halloween is over.

My sister-in-law Tam helped me decorate the Tiki bar deck for Halloween. Once I get the witch hat to cover the tiki I’ll upload some pics.

But baby, the seasons they are a changin’. We’ve still got 100 degree temps for this week and the pool is heroically staying swimmable as long as it can even though the nights are bottoming out in the low ’80s. It appears this week is about it, as Friday appears to be the last of our 100-degree days before a cold front knocs us into the high ’80s early next week. And if that happens, it’s sayonara pool season.

I’m counting down the days to resuming my golf game. Looks like Saturday is going to be perfect for kicking off the 2014-15 season. Temps in the ’90s, and a new game plan and attitude to bring to the course with me. I can’t wait.
