Welcome To Kansas

Ninety-nine-degree high yesterday, fifty-two-degree high today.
The leaves are not falling yet, and the roses are still budding.
We are wearing layers, not sure if it will be sleeveless weather or poncho weather.

Welcome to the Midwest in September.
The heat waves of last week made school recess unbearable.
We had to do inside recess. 

Today is the beginning of a new trend.
We may have rain for a couple of days, but no signs of snow.
Snow is preferable to the heat wave of the last two weeks.
Welcome to Kansas.

I recall when I lived in St. Louis, Caren. Much the same. I would go to work with the sun shining, wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Drive home through a driving snowstorm after work, dashing into the house before I froze!
