I first felt it about a week ago. An evening breeze and the question of whether I should have taken a light sweater with me. A few days later, it was there in the morning. The crispness that was the bellwether of things to come.
The acorns from the oak trees up the block. Plummeting cars like hail forcing neighbors to move their cars from their parking spots.
And yesterday it was official -- the first day of autumn. Leaves will turn and fall, windows will open at night, daylight will get shorter and we'll turn back the clocks.
The change of every season is special. The change to Fall is really special.
