Autumn

There is definitely a chill in the air.  There should be, since the date is October 3rd.  September 23rd marked the beginning of autumn.  Goodbye for now to the hot and sweaty summer.  The leaves have started to turn and the fur on the squirrels has grown full; their bushy tails  twitch as these animals cavort in the yard.  Time to pull out the warm pajamas, sleep socks, and blankets.  The time to has come to close the storm windows and remove or cover the air conditioning units.  The time to rake the leaves is fast approaching.  It is also time to think about the annual question:  "How long will the socks, blankets, sweaters, and sweatshirts suffice before we  have to turn on the heat in the house? "
Smiles,
