Autumn sneaks up on me
Just last week, we were still in the middle of summer weather. Then suddenly, a few days shy of the official start of autumn, we’ve jumped into the warm-days-and-cool-nights mix that heralds the changing of the season.
Two nights ago, we pulled out the down comforter.
Yesterday was my first “long pants day” since last May (not counting the fleece pants I wore on chilly nights in Vermont last month).
Today the sun lit up the reddening leaves on one of the dogwood trees in my front yard. There’s green everywhere else–this tree is among the first to get its blossoms in the spring and among the first to lose its leaves in the fall–but autumn is definitely in the air.
Mmm, my favorite time of the year.
ME too. I am so glad for those chilly nights and early mornings! Best time of year for me.
It went from being in the hundreds to the fifties here in about a two week span. The cooler weather feels so good! I am so ready for a change in season.
