Well that's the way it is around here. I've already had my 5 minutes of depression associated with the sinking feeling that comes from recognizing that the days are getting shorter. Now I'm looking forward to all the good things about fall, winter, and spring. The large orb spinner in my garden crept away before I could snap a photo of it, but I love to see them, a sure sign that summer is over. Even if warm temperatures linger, the season is changing.
The shadows are getting long, and the sun is again shining in our windows in the morning and late afternoon.
Today we cooked up a big batch of quinces. And we had our first rain since May 27. It was just a sprinkle really. The warblers and fly catchers are passing through. Haven't seen any white crowned sparrows yet. I am eagerly awaiting them.
The pictures are from recent bike rides. The first one is from last Wednesday. I biked alone since Ted was in So Cal on the rubber chicken circuit.
After all these months of cloudless skies, today's clouds were a novel and welcome sight.
