Day 4 - 265 -- Change of Season

Autumn began this evening. The day was sunny with bright blue skies. After a long list of short meetings for a course and finishing the major paper work for the week, I headed out. I met with a group from work at a pub for a TGIF celebration. Today marked the end of week 3, which puts us about one-quarter through the term -- yet we've just begun! We sat out on the deck for what is likely the final time this year. We were the only group out there. While the sun was warm in the afternoon, by early evening it was beginning to feel quite cool. We toughed it out <smile>.

Weather of autumn will be the back and forthing between summer and winter type temperatures. Next week is to have some warmer humid days mixed with some very cool nighttime low temperatures. And so it begins. I do love the transition seasons. They allow us to prepare for the heat or the cold, while not fully enveloping us in one or the other. It is much like easing us into a new routine. Many people complain and call the colder weather 'winter' and the hotter days 'summer' but it all is truly autumn working its magic. I so enjoy the falling leaves of all colours and the noise of walking through the leaf covered driveway. The lower angle of the autumn sun brings crisp clear colours of the leaves and sky -- gorgeous.

The song for today deals with the leaves changing. It is sung by a duo from the 1960s with clear, identifiable harmonies. Enjoy!
