Suddenly, it's Fall. On Monday, it was 104 Degrees. Today, a mere three days later, it didn't top 72. The difference? Tuesday was the first day of Fall. I've smelled that hint of all in the heat over the past couple of weeks, but it's here now. It's more than "smelling Fall in the air," it's pretty much here in full force.
It doesn't help that I have a cold, complete with aches, fever, a runny nose, and the burning need to take a two hour nap in the afternoon. That makes it all seem a little more wintery than summery.
The air feels different in the Fall. The air weighs less - there's no "oppressive heat," and the sun sets soon, and the nights are colder. It's now possible to go into a building at 6:00, wearing shorts and sunglasses and come out at 8:00 wishing I had brought a sweater and wondering when it got so dark.
On the upside, I like Fall.
p.s. how can people NOT READ? It's a concept I just don't get, especially as we run head first into long winter notes where a book is the kindest company.
