"Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple." R.

It has been a long hot summer here in Chico, full of smoke and air from fires that wasn't so easy to breathe. But now it is cool and crisp and I am grateful for September 1st. This is a perfect quote for today, it seems to me. We're having a Labor Day
