If the calendar didn’t remind you, this morning’s gale should have: welcome back to fall - yesterday marked the equinox, so if you felt especially balanced, credit the especially balanced daylight/darkness. Days just keep getting shorter from here . . . .

Speaking of which, there’s no denying that the air today feels a bit autumnal, eh?

With the winds and fall weather, of course, come increased allergens in the air and piles of snapped branches in the road. Mind your driving today, kids, along with your use of flammable objects: winds and dry = extreme fire danger.

I’m guessing we’ll have at least a few more days of summery weather before it really gets nippy. But are you for this temperature dip or against it?
