We’ve been wearing jeans and long sleeve shirts as the summer passed with little trace of the season, but September brought hot and humid weather that had us temporarily break out the shorts and sandals. Family came to visit for the weekend, so all chores were put on hold to welcome them, and Christophe and I bartered for kitchen space in preparation of the meal. They arrived as the Autumnal winds started to kick up and the smell of fallen leaves welcomed them. The weather was still warm, but quickly changed. The evening brought the promise of rain, which arrived sporadically throughout the night and continued through the next day. The temperature dropped dramatically and open windows were quickly shuttered close. The warmer clothes shed for the last few days were re-found as we fronted the brutal seasonal change. Autumn arrived overnight, unwelcomed with summer’s promised closure.
