Dear Mother Nature,
I just wanted to write to check in on you…and make sure you’re doing OK. The weather you’ve been sending my way has been, well, lovely for certain, but not terribly reminiscent of the October’s I’ve grown accustomed to. It’s way hotter than normal. Did you realize its October already? I wonder if you’ve forgotten about the poor trees in my neck of the woods…they would really benefit from a cool night and a drink every now and then.
You just haven’t been acting like yourself lately. Usually you send such wonderful weather here this time of year…so I’m a bit worried about you. I wonder if you’ve gotten behind, or maybe your calendar system isn’t working for you? Do you think it’s still August?
If so, perhaps you should consider the services of a professional organizer. (I happen to know one who would be more than happy to help you.) See, a professional organizer can help you get back on top of things and get that calendar back under control. You’ll be making rain and sending October-like days in no time…and you’ll feel so good. I promise. I make it fun and simple to get organized and you’ll just love how good it makes you feel to know you’re on top of things again…and sending the right weather to the right people at just the right time.
Anyway…give it some thought…I’d love to help you out and I’d offer you a special, Mother Nature-only deal. Because, frankly, if I have one more August-like day this October, I may find myself in my own organizational pickle, when suddenly it’s cold outside and my kids are still wearing flip-flops, my yard isn’t winterized, and we don’t have a pumpkin for Halloween…because really, who wants to go to the pumpkin patch on a 95 degree day?
So let me know what you think…and in the meantime, I’d be oh-so grateful for even a few more sprinkles of rain for those thirsty trees outside my window.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Aby Garvey
Professional Organizer
hmmm.. warm weather actually sounds nice to me at the moment. Hope you get fall weather soon… but really.. you could just take a trip to Canada. And maybe I’ll come there.
I am so right there with you. I keep dreaming of moving north. We joke that we’ll move north when we retire, but this weekend made us want to go sooner. We are MELTING here in Austin, TX. Absolutely melting.
The kids wanted to put Halloween decorations out this weekend, and I just couldn’t do it – I couldn’t get in that frame of mind.
But, yay! We’re getting a cold front this week …. so the highs will only be 89 degrees. What kind of cold front is that!? Sigh … dying to wear a jacket over here.
🙂
Moving north? How far north? Here in NJ it was 86 on Saturday, 82 on Sunday, at least 100 yesterday (or so it seemed with the humidity!), and today will be another sunny, hot and humid day, with temps in the 80s.
SUPPOSEDLY we will get more October-like weather tomorrow.
I’ll believe it when I see it!
Fall, please!! I’m ready!
We have been sweltering in Indiana. Record highs, bleh.
Luckily it is cooling down tomorrow, just in time for pumpkin patch and apple orchard this weekend.
I like your letter, very cute. 8)
lordy lordy that letter was good.
Amen. I would LOVE some rain here too… I miss rain. I actually miss snow, not that we get that much in Texas…
Hmmmm…Rain… for those of you who love rain, I suggest the Pacific Northwest. We have lots of rain… nice temperatures too.
This is super Aby… if you happen to hear back.. make sure to send my thanks to Mother Nature for the last few weeks too!
ROFLOL….I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for a great laugh this morning! I really should be doing laundry and organizing a little so I can pack for our trip Saturday, but alas…here I sit! (and I wonder why I’m not organized…).
Thanks for the laughs! I agree 100%…send fall temps soon please!
Aby – this cracked me up! I live in Central NY – and our temps have been NUTS! I think the trees are so completely confused… and so is my wardrobe. I NEED fall – it’s the time of year that puts me in a better mood. no matter what!
That was so funny, you nailed it! We have no pumpkins either, it has just not been pumpkin patch weather yet, and Monday we went to pick apples and I have to say the pictures looked a little ridiculous. Sundresses and the apple orchard just don’t seem right together.
Today is a cool, windy day here and it is actually kind of a nice change. It looks and feels like October today!
Way to go, Aby! This surely must be the client you said you had today! Ohsosuddenly the temperature has dropped to a breezy 55 degrees. Brrr. Perfect October weather, but a far cry from yesterday’s 80’s and last week’s 90’s. (Must’ve been something about flipping the calendar?!) Hopefully she wasn’t too messy, and your creative self was able to convince her to add some rain to the agenda, too. (We all know it’s not easy to fool Mother Nature.) Now, grab those sweatshirts and get to the punkin patch!
