Oh a 40 degree night would be a blessing, it's 95 outside right now and very humid.  Ike should make a big shift in our normal weather pattern.  I have noticed shorter days, and the squirrels have been scurrying all over the place collecting pecans from all the trees in the area. 

It really dawned on me that summer is over when I was sitting in the stands last Friday night watching my fiance's son at his high school football game.  The summer really passed me by with spending all my non-workplace hours caring for sick kitties.  I'm not sure where the summer went.  Leaving in a hour to watch another football game, because of Hurricane Ike, all Friday night game's have been pushed up to tonight.  All of our area buses are headed for the coast to assist in evacuations.  I registered today with the ASPCA to volunteer for fostering displaced animals.  I already received a German Sheppard today and will also be assisting at the shelter when not at home.  It should be an interesting weekend.
