Confessions

I have two confessions.

This is the time of the year that I miss Ohio the most. 

I am not talking about missing my family, my friends. They are missed year round. I am talking about the place, the location, called Ohio.

Warm days. 

Cool evenings. 

Warm, gentle breezes. 

Football Friday nights. 

Weekend festivals. 

Bonfires.

Last year, at this time, Taichung weather was still stuck in August.

Hot.

Humid.

Sweltering.

Smothering stillness.

Dry as a bone.

Here is where my second confession is found.

I am glad it is 2015 and not 2014! 

Our weather, so far this September, has been amazing. The humidity is not unbearable. While the temperatures are still reaching the 90's mid day, a cool breeze keeps the air from feeling too hot. Fluffy white clouds. Bright sunshine.

Definitely a great place to be.

And  a great place for watching sports.

Unfortunately, nothing can take the place of a Friday football night. But, a Saturday morning soccer match helps fill the gap.

Especially when the game is practically in your front yard! 

Not a bad start to a glorious weekend!
