Welcome, Autumn

According to the calendar, fall has arrived! And the weather should be in agreement shortly. I hope your autumnal equinox was just swell yesterday. In keeping with my intent to change my blog's appearance with the seasons, I bring you this lovely orange wall with a door in it. There were many suitable background options for a fall scheme, but once I saw this lovely picture it won. Not only does it have a door, but it in some way looks more "professional" than some of the other ones that had maple leaves or something like that on them (although there was a very nice one with dark red Acer palmatum leaves that I will probably be switching to towards the close of the season). It may not be explicitly autumnal, but it is most assuredly implicitly autumnal.

Although it doesn't feel like fall outside (it's 93 degrees and humid, good fountain run weather), it's starting to sound like it. It's been windy for at least part of most days for the past week or so, and the rain is coming more often. This weekend the temperature will be following the wind into cooler temperatures. After today, there isn't a single day past the 70's in the 10-day forecast. I'm pretty excited.

Next in the works for posts are a fall playlist, a review of a book I'm about to finish, introductions of my plant friends (I've added some new ones since last time I talked about them), and who knows what else. Right now my questions of the day really aren't very interesting, or they are regarding other people's lives. Hopefully they'll be bringing more excitement soon.
