Truthfully, outside of pandemic concerns, I have enjoyed this summer.  You will be happy to know that this weekend’s temperature highs will be in the 88-92 range.  However, my favorite season is approaching, which is Fall.  It’s not too far off.

Autumn kicks off Tuesday, September 22, 2020, and lasts until Monday, December 21, 2020.  It’s something about the weather in the fall that is invigorating.  For me, it’s a crispness that reminds me of football and marching band season weather.  Our area also has the concern of Fall severe weather season as well.
