Summer's end has usually come in over a period of weeks, and last week brought with it the beginnings of this change. One day I'm wearing shorts to work while the kids are splashing about in an inflatable pool, and the next day I've got frost on my windshield and a short-sleeve shirt proves to provide less than adequate warmth during my evening walk to my car after work. Brrrrrrr. Then, a day or two later, we're back to sweltering heat in the daytime but chilly evenings and morning.
