Falling (Again)

Well, it's Fall.  Autumn.  The next season in our little cycle up here.

I've already noticed a few changes that told me as much even if I weren't looking at a calendar.

Sure, we're still in shoulder season and I've had a few nights of throwing off the covers (too warm) and the forecast is calling for some warmth this week (maybe even tomorrow) but I haven't used my big fans in weeks and same for my portable A/C unit.

The air in the mornings has a bit of a bite to it and I've maybe even seen my breath in the air.

The days are noticeably shorter in length which has already confused my brain, especially in the evenings (I see the darkness outside and my brain goes "BED?" but then I look at the clock and no, not bed, not close to bed at all... sigh) which probably means the (stupid) time change is coming soon to mess with my brain even more.

So some shorter days and some cooler morning temps have quietly suggested summer is heading out.  And now it's officially no longer summer and maybe I'll pull out my Blundstones soon or maybe I'll start wearing more layers (even though they tend to come off once I'm out and about.)

So, yeah.... end of September.  Working hard not to stress about future months and all the things to come (as that's what anxiety likes to try to do.)

Happy Fall.

Clocks do not fall back here in the U.K. until October 27th ... also they do not say 'spring forward, fall back' which is silly as that is so useful ... it is autumn ...

Yeah, ours don't go back until November (I just had to google). And I never remember that phrase really anyway because you can also fall backwards and spring forwards so... ;) (yes, I overthink! ha!)
