Fall is here
Today is the first day where I can see significant signs of Fall all around me. This morning it was really, really cool and I had to put a second blanket on me at about 4:00am (the windows are open the whole night). At 6:00am, when the dogs went for their morning ritual outside, I detected some moisture in the grass outside (yes, we do have a small grassy area and no, it was not raining last night). At noon I went to town quickly for some food shopping; on the way back I looked at the Sangre de Christo mountains and you can see that the Aspens are beginning to turn yellow. Then later this afternoon I went to the gym and most cars I passed had their lights on. Now it is 7:30pm and I need to switch on lights in the house.
This is a bit early this year; would have loved to have a longer summer. But then our cleaning lady from Espanola predicted that it is going to be an early and strong winter.
