It felt like fall this weekend. Two very wet, cloudy and cool days, combined with the activities of picking crab apples and adding new sweaters to my wardrobe pretty much sealed the deal for me and induced many thoughts of turkey dinners, walks on dry-leaf lined forest paths, and cozy visits with friends over warm drinks in the ever more quickly fading light of evenings in autumn. Mmmmm, warm feelings, warm clothes, and warm spices. I really do love fall :)
Oh yes, but I must remind myself that it is only August 16th! While I had the first feelings of being ready for the coming of fall this week (and those before the weekend of cool weather set in even!) I still very much intend to enjoy the rest of summer, and expect that warm summer weather will return, at least for its allotted time, and know that there are still summer activities yet to be experienced with which I will fill these last days of this season. A season of rest and relaxation, of a different schedule followed and new connections made, of warmth and sunlight, of bike rides and short sleeves, of growing things and city festivals. It has been a good summer.
