It was something I didn't want to see, yet something I knew was coming.
As I mentioned yesterday, I got a lot of stuff done Monday on my day off. One f those things was shooting video (something I'll explain in a day or two), and while I was out shooting said video I came across something that I did NOT want to see.
Namely, I saw this--
It's always a shock when you see the first leaf (or 12) changing, even though they start to do so this time of the year. We don't want them to, and I'm guessing that if they had a choice they wouldn't want to, either, but change they do...
And change--or at least starting to change--they have.
This was actually something I talked about on TV this week; namely, about the exact day summer ended, which, of course, leads to things like the sight I saw earlier that day. It's just another one of a long list of signs that summer is, indeed, coming to an end, and now we have nothing to look forward to in the next seven or eight months except gloom, cold, rain, more cold, snow, ice, and even more cold.
That should be fun, right?
I also find it a bit ironic that as soon as the weather starts to turn fall-like the fire haze & smoke goes away. I mean, I know from a scientific standpoint that one has nothing to do with the other. But still, when you think about it...
It's ironic. And that's all I'm gonna say about that
Although we both know it's not gonna happen, I'm vowing to make this the last time I whine about the weather. Although, maybe just to be on the safe side, I should make a vow that it's the last time this month I whine about the weather.
Either way, the change I saw on Monday is yet another sign that, indeed, summer's over.
