I can't believe tomorrow is the first day of fall—it is still in the low 90s here. Unfortunately all that hurricane activity out in the Atlantic is keeping the high pressure systems trapped here, or something. We have usually been lucky enough to turn the A/C off by this time or perhaps a few days later, but not this year or last year. I think we had to wait till Columbus Day last year.
Even worse, you could tell fall was on its way about a week ago: although the days were high 80s, the nights and mornings would be cool and comfortable rather than steam room warm and sticky. It was sultry out again this morning and, as always when it's like that, it smells bad. I'm guessing it's because the creek is just across the street; it smells like a swamp.
Nevertheless, can't wait to pull the fall decorations out tomorrow. We were too late at Hobby Lobby last Saturday to look around at their fall stuff, but I hope to this week. A few years ago they had a lovely little fall village, similar to the Christmas villages that sprout up during the holidays, with barns, farms, country produce stands, horse-drawn wagons, kids playing in leaves, etc. It was very pretty. If they still carry them, I'd like to buy one.
