Happy First Day of Autumn!
And how, in South Florida, do I know that the seasons are changing? Was it the Harvest Moon last night with its attending glittering near-by Jupiter? Was it all the news about Fall Fashion Weeks in New York and London?
Excellent warning signs, but the true indicator that time is swiftly passing us by on this tilted planet was the aisle of Christmas lights and extension cords nestled in with the Halloween candy and cheesy imagination-free costumes at Target yesterday. I was not alone in my horror. I overheard another shopper shriek to her shopping companion (a rawther young child, who could have no true comprehension of the gripping adult panic at this sinister, commercial holiday combo), "Oh my god! They have Christmas decorations out already!"
At least I was not alone.
Ease into Fall with these calming, yet wholly seasonal, sunflowers from our weekend foray to Whole Foods.
