First blast of Autumn

Last Sunday, I blogged about a sudden rise of temperature, as we had a few days of pure heat, as if we had been in the middle of summertime. August looked and felt like July. Less than a week later, it suddenly feels and look like September, if not October. Today was cold, it was cloudy as if the skies were about to burst open and bleed water (cheap poetry I know) and it was windy. The trees were green, yet the feel was autumnal. We didn't have much of a summer this year, it often was too wet and too cool. I feared the following season would get too warm. Because of karma or something. It might still be the case. However, I think today we had a first blast of autumn, what it would be, cold and merciless.
