How Can It Be October?

Here in Texas, I am still in my bare feet, with the AC running. So, how can it be October already? I haven't given a thought to creating my annual Day of the Dead art, but I did run across this very interesting hand knit scarf for sale at Etsy, not that I would be cool enough (or cold enough) to wear such a thing.
