Summer's Return
October 24, 2024
A week ago, I pulled my first wool sweater of the season out of its plastic bag, removed the “washed” tag, and officially marked the end of summer.
I like the change of seasons (except for the early darkness in the fall). I like the crispness of the air, the beautiful fall foliage and the incredible array of skeletons and spiders in their webs in front of neighborhood homes.
But this week nature did a turnaround, and overnight we have summer again. It’s short-lived, I know, but what a treat!
Still, I need to figure out what I stashed my boots.
This won’t last
Hi. I've just found your blog thanks to your essay this Sunday "Retired isn't an Identity," which I thought was superb. I've shared it with friends. I've been blogging for ... ten years ...., huh, at least now, and have found a wonderful community of writers, authors, 'thinkers,' and just plain nice people throughout the world. I'm happy to subscribe to your blog. I live in the Boston area but we raised our children in the SF Bay area, where the weather is temperate and kind. So yes, I love fall here, but it also saddens me, knowing winter is not far behind.
