As I watch through the rectangle that is my beloved bedroom window, I see the days of warmth coming to their annual end. While the peak of the day still teases with inviting warm coziness, the nights start to show the true colors of the forthcoming season by hinting at the subtle chills in the air. One last trip downtown before the days of warmth are lost over the course of the next few months. The stand on the corner that is normally full of fruits and vegetables is still there, however, the selection has dwindled so. Before cherries, blackberries, raspberries, avocados, lemons, and apples were all stacked high, but now only a few baskets remain. While some worry about the days of warmth being lost for the year, I can’t help but kick back and enjoy the last few of them before fall turns into winter. Only by experiencing the days of cold can one truly appreciate the days of warmth.
