After what at times felt like a very hot, humid, and cranky summer, Fall arrived in New England last week, and we've been braced for a nor'easter for the last few days. The threat of rain and cooler temperatures, coupled with dark, foreboding skies, made me realize the seasons had, indeed, changed.
The big clue for the last month or so has been how the daylight is a little later in arriving each morning, and that same daylight seems to depart a few moments sooner every day.
I appreciate the calendar last Tuesday making it official that summer had ended but I already knew the seasons were changing and I'm not a big fan of the part of the year we're entering. I don't dislike autumn so much as dread what follows.
But there will be some marvelous days between then and now-bracing mornings, gorgeous foliage, crisp evenings, and I hope where you are you, and yours have much the same, and more. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
