Time of Year?

Well, I woke up this morning fairly early and the sky was dark with clouds.  There wasn't a spot of blue sky to be seen.  I could hear the wind as it made its way through the leaves on the trees.  The rain fell soft but steady.  I thought about making coffee and getting started with my day, but that lasted only a second. 

 

As I looked out my back window, I could see the fog dance with the grass.  Since the earth was warmer then the air the steam looked as though fog was settling.  The leaves on the trees were all turned light side up to protect themselves.  The breeze was twirling them in time with the music of the rain.  A steady dance in early morning.  My feet were cold standing on kitchen floor and I decided I was going back to bed!

 

I fluffed my pillows and crawled under my comforter pulling it up to my chin.  My window was opened a crack and I could hear the rain splash outside.  The air was crisp and cool and felt more like a fall day then the beginning of September.  I could smell the moist dirt of the garden below my window, the faint scent of left over flowers, as well as the grass.  It was so clean it tickled my nostrils as it lulled me back to sleep.

 

When I woke up later I had hoped the day would have cleared, but I could still hear the rain falling and feel the crispness in the air.  I ran to do some errands and of course got caught in a downpour as I left the grocery store.  My feet were soaked from trying to dodge the puddles, and the ends of my jeans were soaking up the water as fast as it fell.  A chill right to my bone!  I said to hell with the rest of my errands and came home.  I quickly got out of my wet jeans and put sweats on.  Pulling off my wet socks I could see I had wrinkly skin and they were so cold.  I dug through my closet and got my fuzzy winter slippers and slid my feet in.  It was refreshingly warm.  The temps never got out of the 50's and as I sit here and type it's 53.  Brrrr that is down right cold for this time of year! 

 

My windows are now all closed and the rain still falls.  It's been dark and dreary all day and as it gets later I can see and feel the cool dark blanket covering us for a long evening.  What time of year is it?

 

Tomorrow they are calling for the same.  Maybe if I venture out I will dress like this :)
