Fall in Texas

So its October 2nd, my calendar says that it is now Autumn or Fall or that season where the leaves are supposed to change to pretty orange and yellow... I think Houston forgot about fall because its 86 degress outside, beautiful, and sunny. Don't get me wrong- i enjoy beautiful sunny days, but It's October and I'm still wearing shorts and flipflops to campus??? I'd like to pull out my cute fall sweaters and heels and see a few trees change colors. I think I had a real Fall once - but I wasn't living in Texas- they have Fall over in Granada, Spain. Maybe we get a few weeks or maybe its that we don't really get Winter- we just get a delayed Fall that turns into Spring. So all that to say I'm having "season envy" of the northen part of the country this afternoon.
