Maybe?

I think it maybe really finally feels like fall is approaching.

We've had a light layer of wildfire smoke this last week or so (but still, we're doing pretty well comparatively speaking) but the times that a breeze has come, it has had a hint of a bite to it.

I think it was Friday night (maybe?) when I was in bed reading and I heard a chorus of distant "oooooohs" that I wondered about (my windows were covered by a sarong to try to filter out some of the smoke) and a moment later there was a rumble of thunder.

This isn't really an indication of autumn, more that things are unsettled *up there*.

C-Dawg wondered about bringing out some fuzzy pjs (to which I replied I wasn't ready to commit to warming up my bed quite yet!) and I think I've not fallen asleep with *just* a sheet for more than a week now.  So we're getting there.

I know summer lasts for another few weeks and I know that September here often has warm stretches but I can just feel the first licks of fall starting to arrive.  Is this the easiest go of a summer I've had in a while?  (Temperature wise?) Yeah, I'd say so, and I'm very grateful for that.   Very.  It made a world of difference for me not losing weeks at a time to the heat.  

It's still been very dry and we still have wildfires we'd like to see rained on, but it feels like we're getting closer.  Hopefully.  I think.
