After a warmer than usual September and early October, sometime last week, Fall took firm hold of our days. Sweaters came out in abundance as a decisive chill took hold. I turned off the air conditioner on Tuesday and turned on the furnace in the same week, an unusual development. The dogwood’s changes have really taken off thanks to the cool nights in the past week.
These pictures were made this morning, in the dim sunlight. Each day features a bit less sunlight and as we march toward the time change, I look forward to the sunlight in the morning, the only consolation for the dark afternoons that are coming our way soon.
There will be some leaf-raking in my future, likely plenty of it. I don’t mind because Fall means hot tea, homemade soups, cinnamon apples, pumpkin everything, and cozy blankets. That’s happy!
