Looking out over the yard two weeks ago, I noticed spiderwebs on the lawn sparkling with morning dew. That’s been a sure reminder that summer break is past its late-July halfway point and schools will be reopening in a matter of weeks. 

Today, crickets are chirping in the yard during daylight hours, and that’s an August sign that fall is getting even closer. The autumn chill the past few mornings brings a certain fragrance with it, and nothing brings back memories more powerfully than familiar smells.
