Here, the autumnal signs were at first very slow and muted, but suddenly – seemingly overnight – the foliage colours and other signals arrived en masse. The wind began delivering a sharp edge and together with intermittently leaden skies, the sun started its fallish slant.

I’m enjoying this cooler weather, though. It was a hot summer and up until a few days ago, we were still experiencing temperatures in the mid to high 20s (about 80 F). According to the prognosticators, we will probably be getting a few more of them, but this invigorating and lovely coolness will eventually take over.

Happy autumn. 🍂
