That night was the turning-point in the season. We had gone to bed in summer, and we awoke in autumn; for summer passes into autumn in some imaginable point of time, like the turning of a leaf. [Henry David Thoreau]

It's the first day of school in Westerville for Grades 1 to 12!!
Precious cargo: Time for school buses to re-enter the traffic mix, when-children-present speed limits to be heeded, and heightened awareness of school-age children in crosswalks, along roads, in parking lots, and on sidewalks (especially at driveway aprons).

...Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree house; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape.... [Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird]
It's a farm fresh Market Wednesday in Uptown Westerville!
Once again, even with lowered temperatures, mix in the elevated humidity, and the heat index remains front-and-center - new and improved, but still a factor.
We are looking at a nice afternoon, with thermometer temperatures in the mid-to-high 70s, partly cloudy skies, a breeze; with all that, a feels-like that is about 11° higher. There is an outside chance of precip during set up and throughout late afternoon.
Peaches, sweet corn, all varieties of peppers and tomatoes, fresh basil, eggplant, potatoes, melons, and the first apples of the season - a farmer's bounty come to market and a great day to visit a farmers' market.

Snow flurries began to fall and they swirled around people's legs like house cats. It was magical, this snow globe world. [Sarah Addison Allen]

It was one of those humid days when the atmosphere gets confused. Sitting on the porch, you could feel it: the air wishing it was water. [Jeffrey Eugenides]
Welcome to the first Market Wednesday of August.
Today's weather forecast? As it was yesterday... so it is today. The humid air continues to invade our personal space! So, a beautiful day ahead, but it's August, and it will be hot and feel hotter.
