Is it still summer? Or autumn?

Well, this doesn't look like summer! It's September 13, still a week away from official fall. Some of you consider Labor Day the end of summer. And retailers? Ugh. It's Halloween and Christmas already.I haven't packed away my white pants and flip-flops yet, and this is a wonderful time to go to the beach, even if I wear fleece and clutch my travel cup of hot coffee in those early morning hours.These photos are from my walk today, so maybe it is autumn! I bought apples this week and made applesauce with cinnamon. I've been whirling up my breakfast shake with pumpkin purée, cloves, nutmeg. That's fall, right?Apparently the neighbors are ready for October! But I'm a lifelong New Englander, so I know the temperature could climb back into the eighties this month. That pumpkin could turn to mush.This evening I'm barefoot but wearing long sleeves. The windows are open, but I put the big quilt back on the bed. My husband needed his sweatshirt because I won't close the windows. Come on, it's 64 degrees at 6:30pm!So....are you holding on to summer or sliding happily into autumn?
