It really is beautiful out here at Mcclellan rock. I would say that these kind of mornings herald the arrival of my favorite season and the passing of my least favorite season. I HATE summer. Hot, dusty, fires, sweaty, bugs etc.
Only change I have noticed is the days are shorter. Getting darker sooner. No trees changing color or dropping leaves. Give it another month.
Here along the coast this is our summer. Clear warm days. Corn tasseling, pumpkin flowering.

Fall begins in early August. The equinox is “mid autumn”. ☺
The days begin getting shorter after solstice in late June. Therefore all those shortening days should be considered Pre-Winter, relentlessly losing daylight until the coldest, darkest and most bitter day of all- that wretched day that we call “Christmas”. Only then do the days begin getting longer. January should be considered as Pre-Summer. But humans just can’t accept reality!! You’re welcome…
