Annnd... It Starts

It was barely noticeable today - the slight end of summer chill.

It still looked like summer - only, crisper.

Maybe I only noticed because I haven't been around here during these mid-September days for the past four years. I'm used to HEAT. To that Arizona sun pounding down on us for many more weeks to come. I'm not used to that somewhat-insignificantly-different-slight-chill anymore.

I'm surprised by it now.

It may have looked like summer in my front yard this afternoon - and in my surrounding neighborhood - but there it was. That slight change that suddenly whispered that fall will quickly be on its way.

I will admit - I have missed the fall.
