Autumn Comes Early in the Rockies

How I know it’s no longer Summer in Colorado:

  • It snowed during the middle of August (in the mountains, we had temps in the low 50s and 36 hours of rain)
  • The leaves are no longer green everywhere I look
  • The temperature drastically changes daily (yesterday the high was 52*, today it’s 78*)
  • The fan above our bed was turned off in August and I resorted back to wearing flannel
  • I have started putting away my light-weight shirts in favor of sweaters (but not yet turtlenecks)
  • I have rediscovered socks and shoes
  • I will use my car’s heater in the mornings and AC in the afternoons
  • Football season has started, which means my beloved Dodgers have less than a month to maintain 1st place and secure a position in the playoffs
