Hawaiian Autumn


Here in Hawaii the changes of season are so subtle, unless you lived here, you'd probably miss them.
It's actually more of a "feeling" than anything else.
The days are shorter, ready to come inside and it's only 6:30.
More trades it seems, actually have to close windows to keep papers from blowing.
The air "feels" different, almost cooler.
Not as many flowers on some of the trees.
Grass doesn't need cutting as often.
Crowds of summer are gone, more mellow before the crazy winter crowd.
Need more than just a sheet to sleep at night.
More "night-time" rain.
The California grass is getting green in some places because of the rain.
Everyone becomes a UH Warrior fan.
High school football games on television.
Holiday Craft Fairs are starting to be advertised.
So even though it's still in the 80's, the water is still warm, the skies are blue, here in Hawaii we really can tell it's Autumn by the "feel".

I couldn't describe it any better if I tried. BTW, what happened to you and Terry on Friday night? I didn't see you come in at the game.
