Was this an autumn day or a summer day? Was it a sunny day or a rainy day? The answer to each question is "Both."
Late this afternoon a storm blew through--alternately heavy and light rain under a black sky. I drove home through the shower, which seemed to snarl traffic. But by the time we had finished dinner, the rain had stopped. We decided on an impulse to go have dessert at The Cone. A wonderful end-of-summer treat (Evelyn had peanut butter; I had orange sherbet and vanilla swirled.) But the air had gotten cooler after the rain, and The Cone was getting ready for fall with its advertisements of pumpkin soft serve on the marquee.
Jen's Facebook account was mentioning the first day of school in Levittown, and we know fall is here. But I'm expecting at least a few more weeks of warm days, even if the air does feel cool in the evenings.
Evelyn went for her walk after we got back from The Cone, and I snapped a picture of the sun blazing through the front window, with rain drops sparkling on it.
