It’s that time of year when the weathermen say there will be a cool front this week. They make this prediction a week ahead of time, dangling that carrot of cooler temperatures in front of us. Every year, we fall for it hook, line and sinker only to be disappointed when the cool front does not arrive. <sigh> We wait with hopeful hearts that this year the prediction of the first cool front will come true! A cool front to those living in Southeast Texas means temperatures in the mid-80s or lower. It is a time when we can actually leave our air-conditioned homes to breathe in the fresh air without melting. I will have to let you know what happens since Wednesday is supposed to be the day it arrives. In the meantime, while we wait, I’m going to meal prep!
