The end of summer is usually not as abrupt as it was this year. But then, spring was more like autumn and summer was long in coming and had a short stay. It left abruptly one day and autumn seemed in full swing.
I find I miss the "Indian Summer" we are used to when leaves are red and gold and temperatures climb to the low 70's. It is a gift as it dries out the wet autumn leaves that produce mold and mildew and make you sneeze.
No Indian Summer this year .
In years gone by summery temps could pop up until Halloween with children sweating in costumes. Other years children went begging in frigid temps.
Thanksgiving has been warm and summery.... or sub zero. You just never knew.
Thank goodness for the Farmer's Almanac which gives a hint of things to come.
Today was rainy , dim and gray. Lights needed through most of the daytime hours and soon even the daytime hours will dwindle as we reach the end of October already! Didn't it just begin?
Next weekend is the end of Daylight Savings Time when clocks "fall back" to their original settings.
Autumn will soon give way to winter...
