In the fall of the year

As the fall equinox steals up on the calendar, our very skin dances gleefully with goose bumps when the days grow dark with cool nights. Our Saturday beach trip will lose its savour when we shiver in the sandy wind. Alas, we must trade our boogey boards for clippers and turn to the bare-leggy garden, where trimming and pruning might provoke a few more bright blooms.

It seems to be a good beach day here in Charlotte. We started closing down the pool! Maybe you got to the beach.
The grey skies melted away by midmorning after Emma and I were at the Farmer's Market! Now it is quite hot! Summer is holding on!

We got a wave of humid hotness, too! We see lots of inflated water-laden, clouds blow over our house. No beach today--but maybe tomorrow!
