On gossamer wings
Some sure signs that autumn is in the air: You never know from one day to the next if it’s going to be a sweater day or a flip-flop day. Cool, crisp mornings make me want to sit on the patio and breathe in the scent of fall. Lately that’s been laced with ragweed, so while the mornings are nice, …
