foreshadowing of fall

it's beginning to look and feel a lot like fall.  hip hop hooray!  while i didn't think the weather experienced in nyc this past summer was horrid, i do always look forward to the light sweater wearing days of autumn when the air is crisp and the trees are glorious with color.  i have even bought a couple new blazers to wear while trapsing to and from my mass transit of choice.  soon the wardrobe swap will take place and drinking hot chocolate on a saturday morning will become the norm.  even though we are a few weeks off it is always fun to notice the changes that trigger the season known as autumn.  some of the current foreshadowing events of fall are:

• no longer run air conditioning at night to combat the humidity - instead just crack open the bedroom window
• needed to wear a blazer and actual shoes to work on tuesday because the temp was 62 degrees at 8am
• started thinking about annual fall foliage vacay with netter to pick apples and take pictures of the majestic new england foliage
• found myself on the 9th floor of macy's herald square to peruse their coat/jacket section - already on the hunt for my 2012/2013 new coat
• us open tournament is over - CONGRATS to Andy Murray!!!
• tax season is upon me - meaning i have to submit and process over 100 tax returns for the good old employer
• reviewed the upcoming fall broadway season to scope out what shows i want to see
• first inclination is to avoid the ice cream aisle at the grocery and instead buy boxes of nestle hot chocolate
• week 1 of nfl season is done - 'nuff said
• can't talk to my joani whenever i want because she is back to work as an award winning junior high school teacher
• fall tv premieres are happening now - although downton abbey doesn't come to the states until early 2013 (another reason i want to be a brit living in the UK)
• listened to my first Christmas song since january

i'm excited for this upcoming season which is why i chose to use a picture i took last year of poet's walk in central walk on an early October morning as my blog's banner photo.  love the color and light that occurs in the autumn. 

and one last thing, i like to refer to falling leaves as "golden dewdrops from the overlords of autumn".  just an fyi.
