\"Image<\/a>Huh.<\/p>\n

Please give a beach girl a thought at this unfortunate and completely unexpected change of events.<\/p>\n

The other day the heavens seemed to be making a point of telling me that summer is really done like dinner. \u00a0A trip to the grocery store was a series of reminders of what the next bunch of months will be full of.<\/p>\n

The spot on the highway where the car is suddenly exposed to big winter winds, and the little trees there bend over double.<\/p>\n

Having to hold onto my car door as I open it in the parking lot to make sure it doesn’t get caught in the wind and bang the door next to me. \u00a0Did that once. Sigh.<\/p>\n

That annoying puddle that forms just outside the grocery store where, after paying and venturing back out into the wet, and watching \u00a0for cars as I try to remember where mine is, \u00a0splash … there it is … \u00a0wet toes. \u00a0Every year.<\/p>\n

Even the things I was buying were different. \u00a0Ingredients for meat sauces and baked macaroni and cheese, enough to make big batches and freeze for busy nights ahead.<\/p>\n

But OK, that macaroni and cheese was delicious and comforting. And doesn’t it feel good when the room is cool enough that you have to pull a thick comforter up around your ears at night? When the cat has to lean against my legs because she’s\u00a0cold.\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

Sort of?<\/p>\n

And yes I had to turn the heat on in my office yesterday and have switched to making sure the door stays closed where it seems just hours ago that I was making sure it was open to let the hot stuffy air out. \u00a0But now how about I go drag out my old ratty sweater that I knit myself about 20 years ago. \u00a0The cuff is ratty and there are bits of paint on the front.<\/p>\n

(Wait! \u00a0Is she describing the sweater or herself?)<\/p>\n
