Autumn Has Arrived

October 4th and I'm already cold.

It happened this week, when I wasn't looking (and definitely wasn't ready), fall arrived. Today it was about 60 degrees here and plenty warm enough in the sun, but when a cloud rolled by it got chilly quick. I don't like fall for one reason, it leads us into winter. I'm cold all the time, sometimes even in the summer, so I'm not fond of winter. Even though spring can be cool too, it leads us into warmer temperatures, so I am more understanding.

For obvious reasons we have been more conservative about turning on the heat this year. It has only come on once so far on a cool September morning. As I sit here typing this, I am wearing jeans, a short sleeved t-shirt, a long sleeved t-shirt over that, a hoodie with the hood up over that, socks and sneakers. I think it could be a long winter.
