how the weather's been lately

it seemed to me, for the first time last weekend, that summertime was through and fall had come to stay.

the temperatures were cool. the lows were in the upper 40s and the highs were in the middle 70s. the leaves had started to change colors and some were starting to fall. halloween decorations were prominent. and football was played everywhere.

it was so much different that the first weekend in october in 2007. i was at a social function and was sweating profusely because the highs were in the middle 90s and lows in the middle 70s.
