Changing the season
Friday, August 28th, 2020 10:37 amAs far I can tell, yesterday was all grey and rain. It certainly went and stayed very dark around 4.40pm and got nowhere close to brightening up before dusk. Other than that, it just felt like one of those miserable summer days that come along from time to time.
Something has changed. I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Today is brighter, the sky is blue and the sun is shining, though it is forecast to cloud over again, later. The temperature is pleasant, but even at 10.30 in the morning, there remains an underlying crispness to the air. Not a cold crispness, but something almost textural.
The leaves are still green, the plants lush and there are flowers blooming all over the garden (note to self: deadhead the roses over the weekend), but something’s changed. The celestial clock has moved along an infinitesimally small notch.
Yesterday was a miserable late summer day. Today is a pleasant early autumn morning.
You can feel it. And it's early.
