Yeah, I know it isn’t Autumn yet, but Saturday was noticably cooler than it has been, and the sun has crossed the ecliptic and is casting shadows now with just a little more slant than they have been, and the air just suddenly grabbed that crisp Autumn feel, if only for a day. It was still 89 degrees, but that’s cool compared to the 102 of a few days before. One thing’s for certain, the days are shrinking, slowly, and the nights are growing longer, and though there’s still lots of hot days left this summer, their numbers grow fewer every day. We’re just slightly more than a month away from the Autumnal Equinox, and I think I’m ready for this year’s long hot summer to finally be through.

This weekend, driving down to the sister-in-laws, I made the comment to my wife that the clouds looked like autumn instead of summer clouds. I then had to explain myself. Fortunately the weather changed during the day and I could point and say, “That’s what summer clouds look like. And we better get inside.”

Exactly! Sometimes it just feels different, and you can tell, in an instant, that the season is changing.
