Somehow, suddenly, it’s autumn.
Every year, I say the same thing — and every year, the seasons pass by more quickly than the year before.
It’s still mostly summer-like here in Baltimore: the days are hot (though less humid and the sky a brilliant, cloudless blue) and evenings are still filled with the sound of crickets (but have cooled). The greatest indicator of the passage of time and seasons is the changing light: now, twilight comes at 6:30 pm, and the sun goes to bed noticeably earlier each week.
It’s a good reminder that nature doesn’t exist in black and whites, but on a spectrum and in gradual and constant change.
To welcome the fall, I sent out my first quarterly newsletter to subscribers today. If you’d like to catch up or would like to sign up for the next one, you can subscribe here (it’s free!).
