Autumn has finally arrived in the District They
Call Columbia. We don’t have the spectacular foliage colors, although my back
yard is a six-inch-deep carpet of fallen leaves. Pumpkin spice has been washing
over everything since at least the last week in August and CostCo is only now
starting to shift out some of the Halloween stuff to make room for Christmas
yard displays.
Even Neiman bleeding Marcus has had their
little Christmas shop up since the first week in September.
Because some people just need to ease their
credit cards into the season, I guess.
No—I know we’re well and truly into Fall
because the temperature and humidity have finally dropped, and you need long
sleeves or a jacket outside. This is the season I love, and it seems like it
took forever to get here—last week was the first time we could actually feel
like the heat and humidity finally gave up their grip on us.
So—despite some folks jumping the gun on the
various holidays—today I’m grateful for the snap in the air and the excuse to
make soup and light candles.
