It became apparent this week that our summer season is changing into fall. Fall is not nearly as dramatic here as in colder climates, but the subtle changes are evident to us locals. Tenth Street is lined with a proclamation of fall. Liquid ember leaves have changed from dull green to vibrant orange and fiery red. There is a flurry of squirrel activity as they sense the cooler nights as a signal for one last chance to store food for the upcoming wet days. A wisp of steam puffs from the surface of early morning coffee. Subtle changes.
As always, we accommodate to the changes in our world. It’s that time of year when you need your entire wardrobe. Don’t leave home without that sweater—you’ll need it in the morning and the evening, but be prepared to be too warm mid-day, if you don’t think ahead. Subtle changes.
Kodi has again found her comfy spots… on the couch during the evening read and watching TV --- on the bed between dad and I (not all night, just early in the morning when that crispness creeps in). Pretty cute how she has accommodated to the subtle changes.
Weekends are filled with football games. High school football homecoming has come and gone. Baseball playoffs are vying for TV time with Sharks games. Subtle changes in our daily life. Reminders of the passage of time. For the first time in my life I am painfully aware of this passage of time and I have to wonder why. Is time moving too slowly? Too quickly? Yes, and yes, depending on the event and the day…but as always, I watch it all with great interest.
