I remember a few years ago, I was talking to my neighbor Pete about a recent night of star gazing. He said he had seen the great square of Pegasus during his viewing. I said, "What!!" Pete laughed. We both knew that such a sighting meant that even in the midst of summer, fall was not too far away as that constellation is more of an autumn constellation.
It is still the midst of summer, but there are signs that autumn is not too far away. The temperature this morning is 45 degrees. The windows that were open just a few days ago are closed. The light green of spring leaves has been replaced by the darker leaves of mid-summer. Silage trucks on the roads; spilling some of their harvest like little green snowflakes. Piles of firewood are appearing in driveways and back yards, ready for stacking.
