A Change In The Air

Yesterday felt autumnal. I couldn't name what had changed- the leaves were still green, the weather was still all mixed up- but my nerve endings registered it- whatever it is. Kipling called it "a whisper down the field" and that'll have to do. Today we've moved on and the signs are unmistakable; the sky is blue and the air is cold.

We felt it, too.

I like autumn. I'm a little less keen on winter...

I'll be glad when autumn arrives here.
Our heat index today is predicted to hit 100
UGH

Wow!

We hardly ever get temperatures that high.

I am envious... we won't see autumn here for another four months.

One can have too much fine weather....

We rarely get heat waves, but when we do they soon outlive their welcome.

I am so sick of summer and it won't go away for another two months at least.

Hmmm...I think I could bear a couple more months of summer with equanimity.

Two days ago the mercury struggled to get to 70, and there was a gusty northwest wind as well. Today it is 92 and muggy! I guess summer is still here...

I got that feeling one morning about a week ago - then we got two hot days -

We're on the brink.
