So I read today is the first day of fall. I guess that thunderstorm that rolled by this morning and knocked my power out was summer saying goodbye.

I’m not ready for fall. I want more rides with the top down and warm sun on my arms. I want my warm nights. But I’ll make do with what I’m dealt.

I cut the backyard yesterday. It was looking pristine at sunset. This morning it is leaf-covered again, and that nonsense is just starting. I’m not ready for the increased darkness. Or the holiday season or perish the thought, of being cold again.

So as the saying goes, it’s time to improvise, adapt, and overcome.
