Pity Party

Each year, around this time, I begin to get just a wee bit resentful that I'm not back home, enjoying the likes of...
Pumpkin patches with kiddos
Justify FullGlorious foliage (this does happen in Texas, ya know!)
...and seasonal food and drink, complete with appropriate outdoor temperature
...so, I think we just might need to partake of the natural spring-fed hot water pools at Caldas Novas - about three hours drive from our casa. I've heard they're quite therapeutic, especially when taken with a choice caprioska.
It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got - I'm gonna soak up the sun.

I feel for you, Honey. I experienced the same thing the two years we lived in New Zealand. Not even any canned pumpkin to make a pie.

Looks amazing...if I had to guess you'll find yourself back in Texas eventually. Enjoy the change of pace while you can.

If it wouldn't cost me my life savings to send you a HUGE pumpkin I would send one down to you in a heartbeat!
