My mood this afternoon, bittersweet to go with that steady shift of summer towards its end.  Today had the same general appearance of the morning as yesterday but the breeze is tinged with enough northwest in it to make 72ºF feel like might need a sweater.

The calls of summer-only birds in my yard are not what they were even last week, and of course it's ever more tempting --by a couple more minutes per day--  to tweak what I mean by "rising with the light" towards the idea of actually waiting for the sun to show up on the job before I roll out of bed.   But I know that soon enough it would mean I'd still be lazing around upstairs when half my usual morning had gone past me.

Not really looking forward to the natural aspects of November (although the political season is an entirely different story in my books).    As far as morning light goes,  I'm already eager to fast-forward past the winter solstice and holidays to late January when rising with earlier daylight is a joy again.

Well the best mood changer for me is either a walk or a book or a bit of music, so that library ebook that will self-destruct in a couple days now is next up for me.
