The weather is unsettled lately, like a fussy jobseeker before an important interview, trying on one piece of standard dress after another, autumn first, then summer again, then autumn, then back to summer. Taking the dog out in the morning yesterday, the air was balmy, nearly as warm as the high from the day before. One doesn’t quite know what to make of it – stay hydrated, I suppose, and don’t push too hard. I gulp down hot tea in the hopes that it will soothe my resurgent allergies, but it just makes me feel prickly and over-warm. The light this morning, though, promised that the seasons are in fact changing, that the weather might nearly be ready to explore this exciting new opportunity, while remaining flexible as to the start date.
