Liza, Exactly! It’s the way I feel that makes it most like fall. I don’t miss the sweltering heat exactly. But I do miss how very refreshing this weather is when it has followed a steamy August. I think there’s still time for that though. Fall is my favorite, and I’ve been surprised the last few years to find a little of that sad feeling you mention mixed in with my thrill.

I too am seeing tiny golden leaves falling and blowing across the blacktop. On my walk yesterday I observed bright red and orange leaves that had also fallen along with acorns. But the best way for me to know that it is autumn in July is in the way that I feel. I have that typical fall sentimentality all over me. I feel leftover feelings of anxiety from my childhood about school starting in the fall mixed with feelings of lonesomeness thinking about my own children returning to school. I am already wearing sweaters and cooking warm comfort foods. It seems that summer skipped over us this year. Too bad because the year just doesn’t seem right somehow without complaining about the sweltering heat and planning trips to the local pool to lay out baking in the sun with a snowcone or going inside to the freezing AC. and saying “Ahhhh.. Oh well…maybe next year.
