Fall at last

[petrea_mitchell]

It turned out the big downpour in late September was a false alarm. Until a few days ago, it got sunny and warm again. October as a whole has actually had nicer weather than much of our unusually chilly, damp summer.

Now the rainy season has started in earnest, though. The cats have gotten used to the sound of the rain in the new drainpipes, and it's so dark in the mornings with the overcast and the later sunrise that I have already let myself switch over the standard time.
