Evidence of Autumn

Recently, I posted on my personal Facebook page that Aly and I were enjoying an excellent homestead breakfast. The post got a lot of positive response from friends and family, but some seemed taken aback by my mention that we were listening to autumn music (see Soundtrack of the Homestead: Autumn). I may have struck a nerve, suggesting that autumn might be upon us already.

I forbore loading any replies with links to blog posts explaining our outlook (most obviously The Circle of the Seasons: Autumn). But hey, this is the blog, right? I’ll do it here!
