Falling Leaves Reveal More Than Bare Branches

Ah, the fall season!

Yeah I know, y'all moving further North up here to the grape state of Maine, imagining those cozy October days, can't wait to be layering up with all those fuzzy, fashiony sweaters over an organic cotton core, with that crisp air that evaporates sweaty armpits and drippy thighs quicker than a Dyson sucks up potato chip crumbs...

Just don't hurry things here for the rest of us... we have our fair share of coolness as expected at this longitude. Anyway, get used to it, the next 8 to 10 weeks are going to bring us again this year their share of temps in the 60's, 70's - and maybe even a few 80's and 90's. If you haven't yet noticed that our seasons have shifted... imagine how much else you haven't realized! Go slowly, now...

And don't forget that Google and the Weather Underground don't tell you everything. Often temp readings of 40 and 50 are much higher, shorts weather, in the sun. So unless you plan on hanging out in shady places, you're not going to be uncomfortable if you play the sun without a sweater.

Or better still go enjoy that shady spot with all your layers on so you don't get too hot on these chilly days of autumn. All the more room for my beach towel! Pass the sunscreen, wouldya?
