Seasons.

October 1, Gardner.

It turned cold yesterday, barely in the sixties in the sun at mid-day and last night it dipped into the low forties. The four of us slept in the bed together, nice and cozy.
Summer is over, and I keep waiting for it. Muggy and buggy never happened but for opening and closing ceremonies - the brief heat wave of early June and a short spell of bad bugs last week. This last episode kept me sealed off in the trailer with the A.C. on even though it wasn't that hot: the bugs looked like fleas that would fly instead of jump and were small enough that they went in through the screens; they drove me crazy. I counted 32 bites on my arms alone and the sting kept on for days.
Hello, autumn!
