Cool Autumn Nights

Well, the weather has changed. It is that lovely time of year when the nights are cool enough to need blankets when the windows are open all night. It is also still warm enough in the afternoon and early evening to go around in shorts. This and spring are my favorite times of the year, because the weather is just so spectacular. Whether it is the leaves changing in fall or the leaves budding and flowers blooming in spring. Good sleeping weather, and you can still enjoy the days. Beautiful weather, even when it is adding to the rain surplus. And the clouds have been stunning.

Speaking of clouds, a good book on the science, whimsy and history of clouds and cloud watching is The Cloudspotter's Guide.
