The calendar doesn't say it yet , but it's fall. Temps in the 50s overnight.
Puffier clouds, less humidity. Here we go. Summer's over. All those things we were gonna do, and summer got away.
In another week or so I'll have completed another trip around the sun. Virgo Girl. Cutting up and freezing the last of the peppers. Putting away skimpy summer things. Looking for fall pants from last year that still fit.
Stopping at Farmer's Markets. Fall Cleaning. Rituals for the changing season.
I had coffee with a retired teacher today. Said it took a few years to get rid of that overwhelming "time to go back to work" feeling he got every September. I suppose for him it would take getting used to. When you think of 12 years of your own schooling, plus 4 years of college, plus 30 years teaching.... that's a total of 46 years of Septembers meaning "that month you go back to school."
