Planning for these days is difficult.

Mornings are always crisp.

Afternoons are breezy or still, hot or cool, sunny or cloudy, wet or dry.

I roll a pair of mental dice and grab an outfit. I hedge my bets with a packable rain jacket.

The trees are still dressed in green, though the ground is slowly collecting yellowed leaves.

Public school is in session. Every day on the trip to work, I roll by high school students making their tired way to class.

The bells ring in the churches every hour on the hour, like they have for as long as I can remember.

I just don't seem to notice until September.
