Seasons Changed

Even though the official start of Autumn was a month ago, this morning it feels official to me. I got up to the faint smell of heat. The first time my heating system goes on, after a long summer's rest, there is a familiar smell of pipes heating up again. Too bad along with that smell comes the reality that an oil delivery cannot be far behind. I walked Shelby in total darkness and when I looked up, the sky was filled with stars surrounding the moon. If I did not know better I would have said it was nighttime. Until the clocks change I will leave for work a few minutes later, as I hate to drive in the dark. Winter has not even begun and I am waiting for Spring.
