No humidity
Light fading around 6ish
No gnats
No mosquitoes
Porch sitting
Those few orange turned and red turned leaves falling from the crepe myrtle
Skittling behind cars on the road
Summer blooms fading
Caladiums wilting
Hydrangeas rusting
Bluer than blue skies
Lightest breeze
Tea olive about to bloom perfuming with the most evasive of scents
Longer shadows
More leaves rattling across the pavement
AC still running
Tempted to open a door or window
75 ish
Fall sports athletes not sweating to death
May be time to switch to some brown water
May be time to look up how to make a favorite soup
There’s always one day like this in October
Winds shifting out of the east and north
That first whiff of the paper mill meaning cooler temperatures
About the time of the fair
Herbsttag by Rilke
“Wer jetzt allein is, wird es lange blieben”
“Who is alone, will remain alone”
One day in October
Every year.
Dad, what's for supper? 
“It’s fruitcake weather.”
