Last week’s weather was not bad—low- to mid-60s for my morning walks, and 70s to the cusp of 80 during the day. Not exactly Autumn in the District They Call Columbia, but not bad.
Saturday morning was a good walker. I overheard a couple of
cyclists meeting up for a spin down the W&OD Trail commenting that they
should get going “before the impending rain”. So, I checked WaPo, and sure
enough, the forecast was for blustery showers in the afternoon, followed by a
drop in temperatures.
This is precisely what happened: some wind, then gentle rain most
of the afternoon, then a 20 degree drop. I closed the patio door and considered
turning on the heat.
Yesterday, it was 50 degrees when I walked over to Whole Foods; it felt well and truly like Autumn. And I am so grateful to welcome it.
