Fall

Finally, after months and months of torridity and parchedness, for the past day it has been cool, cloudy, and windy.  (Perhaps even a bit too windy - but as it is such a relief to have a respite from the stale hot atmosphere, we shall not complain very much.)  Fall is finally in the air, and there is a tremendous sigh of relief at the change of season.

We daydream.

Of what?  Of building campfires, and sweaters and jeans; of puttering in the kitchen, and pie and fresh-baked bread; of carving pumpkins, and candy and costumes; of tromping through leaves, and birds and squirrels.  Herself's spirits lift a bit; without the oppression of the heat and the sun, she can breathe more easily, both literally and metaphorically.  She feels a little more kindly towards the people around her, and is looking forward to enjoying time with them - muffins, games, movies, a little bit of hiking here and there, and sitting outside the RV and looking at the stars.
