This post is another autumnal chronicle or, rather, a pre-autumnal chronicle. Because for the last few days, I have seen the signs of the upcoming autumn. I have made a list here, because I am in an autumnal mood already (being my favourite season and all that) and because I want to savour each moment, each manifestation heralding its arrival:
-After weeks of heatwave, the temperatures have finally gone down. Oh, it's still in the lower twenties and it's not auutmnal yet, but it's a welcome change from the year. And you can feel a coolness in the air, especially in the evening, that really feels autumnal.
-The breeze. It gives you a slight shiver when you feel it, and it smells moist and ever so slightly not quite summery.
-Dusk. The sung goes down way earlier and you can finally see it. Even my wife noticed it yesterday.
-The leaves have already started changing colours on some trees.
So there you have it. We are not there yet, but I am starting to feel the season coming. And that makes me very happy.
