First Sighting

I have waited for this since about July - the first signs of fall. Sure, it's 85 today, and there will thunderstorms later in the day, but those days are coming when my cheeks are ruddy and there is a whiff of a musty library with a dash of burnt wood and a heaping of burning leaves. Soon they will be here, but today I get to sweat through my suit.

But look at those pretty leaves!
