WELCOME TO FALL, the season referred to by poet John Keats as the season of “mists and mellow fruitfulness” in his ode, “To Autumn.”

About the “mists” part — we probably won’t see that until we get some rain. We’ve been some dry so far this month, and with no rain in sight, local weather observer Ed Bergeron says it’s likely we will break the record for low September precipitation as we stood at just .42 inches of rain as of Friday.
