Last week I had occasion to see about the mail a couple of times. For me, that entails a ten-minute walk.
The first time was in the evening. It was very pleasant, albeit a bit warmer than I liked. But I was grateful it wasn't terribly hot, either.
The second time was in the morning. That was August 1st. As I walked, I was hit by this immense wave of nostalgia from all directions, thinking about so many happy and seemingly unrelated things: hanging out with friends, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., anime and Sailor Moon, and various happiness and memories that I was unable to fully define. It was a lovely walk and I was thoroughly happy from the experience, even if I couldn't figure out what I was pinpointing in my memories and how I was reminded of all those things at once.
When I got home and pondered on it, though, I realized exactly what I had sensed. There was a feel of late-summer in the air. Fall was just around the corner! And, apparently, fall makes me think of all those assorted subjects.
The arrival of fall is definitely more than enough to excite me. Cooler temperatures, changing leaves, MeTV's fall schedule.... My birthday, my church's general conference, Halloween, Thanksgiving.... So much awesome. And the specific memories/things I was recalling must have had some connection with fall as well.
August is a transitional month. Nights are cooler than in the other summer months. Night also comes on sooner. I'm sitting here enjoying the sunset and anticipating the wonders of fall that will shortly start appearing in full-form. I believe in meteorological seasons, meaning that for me, fall will start September 1st. I'm so excited!
