Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
I've been so fortunate to get in some extra sleep this weekend that I'm starting to feel like Sleeping Beauty! Between my nap Friday night, to going to bed early last night and waking up late this morning, I think I'm pretty much caught up on all of the sleep I was lacking over the past few weeks.

So today, my best friend's family went out to this festival that my family has gone to in past years. I was looking at the pictures they put up online, and I realized that they were all in sweatshirt jackets and long sleeves. Plus, I still follow a weather page from New York on Facebook, and they were mentioning a frost advisory tonight! I couldn't believe it! Yesterday and today were the coolest days we've had since moving down here, and on the news they kept talking about a "cold front" coming in... In Florida terms, that just means low 80s though!
The good news was that the weather was nice enough for my dad to take the kids to the park. Apparently, no one goes out to play during the summer months here because it's too hot and humid. Once the temperatures drop a little, kids will start to play in the neighborhood and people will start going to parks to play. My brother and little sisters were so happy to get out of the house this weekend and have some fun playing like they did in New York... they're not yet used to the way the weather changes playtime down here.
Still, I'd rather be down here adjusting our lifestyles than be up in the cold. Of course, watching the leaves fall off of the one deciduous tree we have in our front yard makes me miss home a little. Watching the leaves fall and feeling the cool air always meant that it was almost my birthday, and every year on my birthday my friends would push me into a pile of leaves. Things will certainly feel different this year, but I think it'll be a good change. Let's hope anyway, because it's too late to change anything now!!
I guess if I get homesick throughout the fall, I can always video chat with my friends and have them throw leaves at the phone!
Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!
I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.
Thanks!
