Seasons
Our three weeks of fall starts today. Yesterday it was sweltering. Last night the wind came in, and as it got stronger it also got colder. It’s like a big truck pulled up and dumped a load of autumn in our front yard all at once. Now the leaves on the trees are withering—around here they don’t turn and fall off, they stay green until a cold snap comes and then they wither and die. It’s our way of having a summer that never ends, but when it’s finally over it’s over.
By Halloween it’ll be freezing. And so our sharp slide into winter begins.
