Every year just after summer, the trees start to shed leaves during fall and this preceded by a beautiful display of color changes in Austin. It is now November and the nights are beginning to get cooler...even the days have changed to a much more brisk wind. I love this time of year..its neither very hot nor too cold...sky is still blue, but the temperature gets crisp..it brings out the hot coffee, soups and other tummy warming recipes and it welcomes the return of big, comfy sleepwear. I like to hangout on a pair of dorky shorts or pyjamas. Snuggling up with a good book or a light music...loved one is also a good choice.
When the leaves begin to change colors, drive towards lake and mountains...the view is just breathtaking. Let's go for a ride! pockets of trees around my neighborhood produce scenic drive to my office everyday. The spectacular display of fall colors on deciduous trees..the green colors will transform in to red, orange, gold and browns before leaf fall off the trees. This phenomenon is not very common in my home town probably because the winter is not very cold, and trees do not run out of water and sunlight due to shorter days. I think i'm lucky to be in this part of the world where nature has one last fling before settling down into winter's sleep.
Austin has an amazing weather, summers are very hot which posts temperature between 40 degrees and winters get very cold sometimes below 0 degrees Celsius.
But one thing which always catches me by surprise is the sudden change in the weather in Austin. There's a saying in Texas that "if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute, because it's likely to change". Sudden changes in the weather, especially in the summer when late afternoon heat can spark brief thunderstorms, aren't uncommon. So people keep an eye on local weather forecast almost every hour.
How fun would it be to enjoy a Beer at 6th street on a mild winter evening listening to Cool blues and rockabilly ? I'm off for it now.....
