Kansas

Alright, so I've lived in many different places.
I've experienced many different cultures.
I've tasted many different foods.
I've lived in many different climates, but the one that annoys me the most is Kansas' weather.

So today is the first day of December.  The first day of December, remember that.  Christmas plans are in the works and Christmas music echoes down the hall.  Decorations are appearing around every corner and daily the rumor of Christmas gifts is whispered.  The night is lit up by lights attached to the edges of houses.  But one thing is just off today.

It smells like Spring outside.

Yup, Spring.  Birds are freaking out, their tweeting is deafening in the parking lot just outside my dorm.  The weather is a balmy 66 with light clouds and a slightly moist feeling just to keep you cool, it's not humid though.  We just put up our Christmas tree in the dorm.  I don't think Kansas knows that its supposed to be wintertime about now.

I currently have my window open because its that nice outside.  My cacti are sitting in the windowsill, I'm hoping they will absorb all they can before winter actually comes... if it does.  This is the time when you are supposed to go out and sit around a campfire for warmth, not stare at the ground wondering if the grass is going to become green again.

Kansas, you are just a little messed up sometimes.
