Fall...

It's totally undeniable now. Autumn has arrived, along with the obligatory "fall" blog posting! Yay! I can't really believe that it's actually the first of October.

It seems like autumn just latched onto the city out of the blue one day. Summer, full of it's beautiful scorching sun, wilting heat, and summer dresses held on for a while, but has finally let go it's grasp on the city. All of a sudden one morning the leaves were piled on the sidewalk and lawns, crunching underfoot and making it totally impossible to be sneaky.

September always seems like such a safe month, a transistion month, easing everyone into fall but still leaving just a little hint of summer behind to make it a smoother move. Now that October has come, the thought of the impending winter seems less harsh.

Halloween is on its way, as is Thanksgiving long weekend, making October a month of indulgence. In fact, pretty much the entire three month span from October through to the New Year is a time of over-eating, over-indulging, over-doing. I think it's somewhat of a coping mechanism for the coming months of cold and dark.

Well, here's to an inane blog entry about the start of a new season...I guess I'm just feeling nostalgic for the summer.
