"Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall" is a hand-written sign outside of our door today. It was made by Claire who decided that we were celebrating the change of seasons during our dinner last night.
Indeed, today is the Fall Equinox, so.......Hello Fall!
We had such a full summer... It started way back in Cambridge, where the kids went to summer school, learned to swim at Walden Pond, and we all made it cross-country back here to sunny California.
We will not have the same brilliant and dramatic fall as we did last year in New England. In fact, fall here is more like a long Indian summer when the days are warm and the nights are cool. There will be several harvest festivals around town from now until Thanksgiving. We will not fret the imminent long and cold and dark winter... but there will be no sledding or snowman-making either...
Oh, the pain and beauty of transitions... We will savor it all!
