It's subtle, for the most part. A shift in the angle of light in the afternoons, slightly later sunrises. The green of the vegetation outside my window looks older, tired. Several days of lower humidity even though it's still hot. Summer won't last forever.
Some signs are NOT subtle. I took these pictures at Walgreen's and Sam's this weekend:
As much as I look forward to autumn, in my opinion it's way too early to be thinking about Halloween. But that's retailers for you. Always on to the next opportunity to sell us something.
I like the vintage-look black-and-orange Halloween cat in the first photo. Makes me think of Halloween decorations when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteI'm a summer person for sure...I love the longer days, the heat and the warmth of sun on my skin. Not sure why more people don't like summer, especially after many hate winter and always complain how long it last. It does seem like it last longer than any other season.
ReplyDeleteAnd while Halloween is my favorite holiday, I don't need to see any of it till 3 weeks before Halloween. Hell, I have seen Christmas out already!!!!!!
The signs of fall come later here, still steamy hot. But I doubt it that will hold back Halloween!
