We're in the late-summer-to-fall transition here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Temperatures range between a comfortable mid-70 degrees to a hot mid-80 degrees during the day. Everything is bone dry and covered in dust, since we haven't had rain for months. The soil is like a brick. But the mornings and evenings are fairly cool now; the light has changed (more slanted and golden); and you can feel a subtle change in the air.

Inexplicably, one starts thinking about soups and stews and roast chicken; inside projects; and the holidays ahead (but comfortably in the future). It's time to clean up the yard; put away summer gardening projects; and prep the raised bed for fall greens. The rainy season is ahead. Fall is definitely in the air!
