The geese are moving in Vs overhead, and starting to trend southward. Seagulls have disappeared in the last two weeks, and that usually happens about six weeks before the first spell of winter weather.
Leaves on the northern birch are suddenly yellow-green, with edges decidedly yellow, and a few have fallen already.
So as the first light rains of today's low-pressure front moves across town, we've finished our shopping, and are settling in for a rainy afternoon. There's always Netflix, of course.
Meanwhile, we're discussing what we'll do when we spend that long weekend in Homer at the end of the month. Could be a bit of sitting on the bluff over Kachemak Bay and watching the waves roll in. Either way, we intend to soak up as much "chill time" as possible.
Come to think of it, it could be a lot of that. :)

Ahh Autumn. I am actually kinda looking forward to Autumn this year. I sleep so much better when it is in the 40's at night and not 90+ humidity.
The leaves are starting to change on the maple trees already. I just hope our Winter isn't as bad as it was last year....
Brrrr....we have hit the low fifties a couple of nights...even in July, but I am not ready for the forties yet
PP - that's me, too. One of the benefits of life here is the lack of hot, hazy, humid weather.
Chickenmom - I hope you're right. Since our prognosticators are calling for mild weather for the next 3 months here, I hope they're wrong.
threecollie - it's all relative. Remember that anything above 70° is considered pretty hot, here.
Oh dear. So many fellow-bloggers are commenting on the turning of the season. Oh dear.
Time to start brushing up my mantra: "Spring is just around the corner." :)
Padre, we have gone from heat index of 100, to a cool morning of 60. Highs later this week, 66 in MN in Aug. I think it will be another long winter.
Cathy, that may be so, but it's a long, sweeping turn. :)
I hear ya, Rob. At least we know it's coming & won't catch us by surprise.
Ah but even if you know its coming, that doesn't mean everyone is ready. Two years ago some farmers didn't get their corn in before winter. "Tomorrow, Tomorrow, their is always tomorrow"
