Visions of autumn.

Yeah, yeah, visions of autumn. Sounds like bargain bin vinyl from the Miscellaneous 60's Chorus box. 

But that's all I have for you today, because of what we had yesterday, which was a rather unpleasant emergency. It's better today, thanks, and you can bet I'll be complaining about it in this spot when the rest of the storm blows out to sea. 

Meanwhile, autumn is indeed here. The temperature was 15 degrees cooler this morning than Saturday morning. It's like Nature put on the AC. So here's some mums for you.


Chrysanthemums don't bloom like other flowers, which burst open like fireworks. Mums move with the speed of an old man with two canes crossing a road covered in marmalade. But they have more staying power than other flowers. Maybe more than old men, too.



And yes, pumpkin spice season is upon us. You know, pumpkin pie is not something I eat more than once a year, although I do like it. The Yoplait Whips! shown above not only has the flavor of pumpkin pie but also the fluffy consistency. It snapped me back to Thanksgiving at the first spoonful.

Finally, although you may miss summer, you can always look forward to the beautiful autumn leaves....


Yick.
