The first day that feels sort of "non-summery"

There is a harmony

In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,

Which through the summer is not heard or seen,

As if it could not be, as if it had not been!

::Percy Bysshe Shelley::

This morning is the first time it has felt like autumn might one day arrive. Texas summers are so long for me and I feel like a new woman today just looking into that sky with a cool breeze on my face. I honestly didn't adjust the color of the photo...it really was that beautiful blue. {unfortunately the blue clashes with my september header. oh well} The acorn was found as i walked back from E's school after I dropped her off. So surprising to not feel the usual sweaty feeling that has been my constant companion since May. Maybe I'll just spend the day outside gazing up and breathing it all in. Except now I have no excuse not to tend to my yard work. 

dang.

Amazing photo! I love acorns. I love cool weather, breezes, and the lack of sweating continuously. In short, I love Fall. I thought it was coming here, but today I was so hot I wanted to scream.

Love the September header!

I've been loving the weather too. Hope it sticks around!

Oh, I know. Our leaves turned this week, and I was just saying a few days ago that I couldn't believe the green was hanging in there so long. Wrong!
