i felt the whisper of fall last week as i was walking in the berkeley hills. today, i'm sure of it - fall is here. i wonder what triggers the knowledge - is the light just oblique enough for me to sense? or perhaps it's that heat in the air, twinged with a cool breeze. i can almost taste the pumpkin lying orange in the golden fields.
and, of course, there are the stores, already pimping fall. ryan often laments this. they lure us in with halloween. once you buy into that, of course you ahve to continue with thanksgiving, then christmas, then new years. it even drags on to valentine's day. now, ive noticed more general, harvest themed decorations in the stores already. when will it end? i'm surprised hallmark hasnt devised some "happy harvest!" cards that we're all supposed to send out! harumph.
i do celebrate the autumn equinox, however, with a special feast. i forget what i did last year... probably nothing, since i was in school in santa cruz. this year will be something special, if i can manage it!
