Reflections on fall
by Josh Staiger
October 18, 2004
It's 54° out right now with a high tomorrow of 72. There is just barely that fall smell in the air in the mornings. I love this weather.
It's been kind of an eerie feeling living in a different climate and experiencing the seasons change for the first time. Up until now, October really hasn't felt like October at all. The leaves have barely begun to change here and I still haven't bothered to put on a jacket.
Meanwhile, when they call, my parents are talking about sitting in front of the fire, and the autumn leaves being at their peak. In some ways I miss that - in others I don't.
