And all of a sudden, it was fall

It's clear to me I haven't really set foot outside of the house in a few days. I remember waking up earlier this week and being cold. The window in the bedroom was open, and I could feel the chill in the air. The days leading up to the chilly morning were warm. I'm pretty sure of that.

This morning, I had to go outside to take Jacquie to work so I could get the car for the day. As we were getting ready to walk out the door, I noticed she was wearing a jacket.

"Is it a jacket day?" I asked.

"Yes. It's cold in the mornings and warm in the afternoons now," she said (that's more of a paraphrase than a direct quote).

Damn. I grabbed my black denim jacket and threw it on. I walked outside and shut the door. There were dead leaves on the ground and it was cool outside. Wow. Autumn sure snuck up on me.
