Come on Autumn Already
« on: August 07, 2022, 04:35:37 PM »
Yes, I am too far south for brutal summers anymore....

"October Country . . . that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and mid-nights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain. . . ."
- Ray Bradbury, The October Country

Even in "October Country" you may not be getting that kind of weather any more. My Octobers seems to swing between cold and hot. Fall clean up typically happens around Thanksgiving now.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
