Though afternoon was balmy, night is cooling rapidly, and the autumnal sound of the crushed leaf made me think that I might brew some orange spice tea later tonight. I usually save that until October, but this summer has been so relentlessly hot that I'm eager to begin the rituals of fall. Besides, we are only now reaching the peak of the fire season, and thus far, despite the abundant fuel resulting from the wet spring, there has not been a single significant wildfire in the area. The whole place is an overflowing tinderbox. Should a fire begin, the town could well be gone before autumn truly arrives, and the autumn rituals just wouldn't be the same in a refugee shelter on the outskirts of Sacramento. One never knows what will happen. Seize the day, and the cool night.
