Indian Summer

Indian Summer started right on schedule during the first week of school. When I was a kid, I never could understand why we had to have fog all summer long while we were out of school, and beautiful sunny weather within days of starting back to school.

The weather is just beautiful. The skies are blue, the mornings are filled with light, the sea is still, and we can see all the way to Hawaii. Practically.

There is something more golden about Indian Summer days than other sunny days. Warmer shadows and golden light. Maybe because of the apples and pumpkins and sunsets to come.
