Day 3,807 —First day of Fall—

It was the kind of rain today that is more of a feeling of rain than an actuality. I could smell the rain and see all the water on the ground. Rain clouds were moving quickly across the sky, but no water was falling from the clouds. Sure, at times some rain would appear and get in my hair: it was the kind of rain that feels like it is about to storm, or it had just finished storming.

I am not sure that it is the first day, but people certainly are acting like it is. They are already selling pumpkins at the grocery store, and my daughter has been looking through a Halloween catalog, circling the items she likes with her crayons. She wants a treasure chest.
