I noticed the finches were attacking the sunflower seeds with unusual vigor. About noon the wind shifted to the north, and low, hazy clouds scuttled over the city. Soon a white, gauzy sky obscured the sun. Within two hours, fall had arrived. Now everything has changed.
Mornings are deliciously cool.
Afternoons are the right kind of warm. And the nights - yeehaa, that's some good sleeping weather. All my neighbors have fires in their fireplaces, and the smell of wood smoke at night is better than a sleeping pill. Brisk autumn days always give me the itchy foot. I feel like driving to an isolated spot in the middle of nowhere and striking off on foot toward the horizon.
