To start; a quote by Sylvia Plath:
“August rain: the best of the Summer gone, and the new Fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.”
I know it’s not August, but Ms Plath knew how odd this time is we are all stuck in. I think this weird in between time where the sun rises later and sets sooner than it was is a confusing time for all of. We assume Fall has started, but the first day of Fall isn’t until September 23. Even here in California it has started getting cooler at night and slightly cool in the morning (when it isn’t disgustingly muggy). Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks, Michael’s has Halloween and Fall Crafts galore, and even the local grocery stores have Fall themed wreaths and bouquets out! In order to send off Summer with a proper goodbye, here is a mashup that might help ease you from Summer and into Fall, and help this weird in-between phase we are in.
