The weath\u00ader has changed here at 49 \u00b0 lat\u00adit\u00adude north, the days still warm and sunny, but the nights are cool. The memor\u00adies of nights when we slept with the fan run\u00adning and the win\u00addows open are reced\u00ading fast, soon to be filed with memor\u00adies of pre\u00advi\u00adous sum\u00admers. The win\u00addows in the house that were open until last week are shut now in response to the cool, moist air, and I think of the vari\u00adous winter-proof\u00ading tasks that will soon be due. The cats are happy to come in in the even\u00adings now, no longer eager to stay out\u00adside, wan\u00adder\u00ading the neigh\u00adbour\u00adhood until all hours. Now they want to sleep on the bed, snug\u00adgling in close to the warmth. Our son does\u00adn\u2019t want a cat sleep\u00ading on his bed, and they\u2019re not allowed in the baby\u2019s crib, so we are their remain\u00ading option. The garden is still act\u00adive, the roses bloom\u00ading and the phlox and hydrangeas tower\u00ading over the calen\u00addu\u00adlas. The signs of autumn are here as well though, the plums and blue\u00adber\u00adries all gone, the pears mostly so. Only the toma\u00adtoes are still ripen\u00ading on their vines. The sum\u00admer seemed so short this year, I hope the autumn stays longer, gives us more sun before we are sub\u00adject to the grey and gloom of winter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
