Sometimes Fall sneaks up on you, and then one morning there you are surrounded by golden leaves and you notice a chill in the air.
Sometimes Fall skirts the edges of Summer, teasing with its cooler nights and crisper mornings. This is a skirting year. Our days, due to some unexpected high pressure systems, have been unseasonably warm, still in the 90's when they should be dropping into the low 80's by now.
Even so, Fall is close. The leaves in the Sandias have begun to turn glorious shades of yellow and gold and red. The morning air really is cooler and cleaner and has a bit of an edge.
I noticed last week, when greeting the early morning in Santa Fe on my friend's patio, that it was much cooler in the City Different. Much. I needed a sweatshirt...and the colors, evident on the nearby Sangre De Cristos, are stunning.
So, it'll be really cool, for real, pretty soon, we're told.
For today, though, it's sunscreen and a hat for the walk/jog. It's going to hit 90 by 3 p.m. , they say. And 90, no matter who you are are where you are, is still hot.
So if it's hot where you are, stay cool, and if Fall has arrived, embrace the change and welcome the shift from heavy, hot, to cooler, lighter days.
Hugs,
Stevie
