MapleleafMan's Autumn Blog

Instead of putting the words on the screen, I will put them here. Read along as I talk or see if you can listen without the words.
It's getting close to fall now, actually I think this might be the first actual day of fall. September 21st is usually when it happens and that's today.

What's it like where you are? Here in Canada the days are getting shorter, but I notice it in the morning more than the afternoon. I was outside until about 8 last night and it was getting quite dark but I was still able to walk across the field to see the International Space Station fly across the sky. In the morning it gets light much later than it did in the summer so that is when I notice it more.

The weather is colder too, the nights are getting down to about 9 or less and the days are always around 20, sometimes only up to 18.

Yesterday was sunny and warm so I took one final 'dip' in the swimming pool. Oh my, it was so cold! The water was about 18 C and that's too cold to be swimming but I was worried that this would be the last time I could swim so I braved the cold water and went it. I went under twice, to make it official, and then stood in the sun to warm up a bit. I will mark that on the calendar. "Last swim of the summer of 2009".

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, maybe your seasons are changing to autumn also. Of course, if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, this is spring for you. Summer will soon arrive for those people south of the equator and winter will soon be here for the rest of us.

Let me know how your weather is. Does it change? Is it the same all the time? Is it hotter now or is it cooler? Are typhoons a problem? Is it moving into the rainy season now? Let us know what it's like where you are. OK?
