September 9

The 49ers are playing their season opener this evening so it's starting to feel like Fall.

(I'll go ahead and ignore the pesky truth that it was 86 degrees out today and the other truth that it was over 100 more days than not last week because those facts are totally irrelevant to all of my warm, apple crispy autumnal imaginings.)

I do love Fall, even if California Fall is less colorful and less crisp and less sweater-y and less boot-y than Maryland Fall. It is, for some reason I haven't really isolated just yet, comforting to me.

So for more signs that the seasons are changing, I'm grateful.
