Passing by market-goers this morning wrapped in scarves as they rummaged through bins of root vegetables, this writer felt like fall finally arrived. It’s usually mid-October when the blazers and sweaters come out of the closet; this year, mid-October came late. After a week of unseasonal cold and a flood-y Saturday, it’s nice to have a day of actual, honest-to-goodness autumn. Don’t fall in love, though: Rain is likely over 4 of the next 7 days.

Leaves! Pumpkins! Stouts! Windbreakers! This photo by Marcellina. feels about right. I like this season.
