Typically this is the day we native New Englanders consider summer over. School would start this week and the mornings are cool enough for a light coat or sweater. Then I moved south and all that went out the window, school’s been in session for a two or three weeks and the mornings won’t cool off until the end of this month. But today it felt like I was transported back north. We went for a small bike ride this morning and when I stepped outside the garage, I turned right around,went back inside and got a long sleeve shirt to wear. At the end of the ride Donna and I sat outside at the Atlanta Bread Company eating our bagels, drinking our coffee and reading the morning paper and it felt like fall. I would have liked to have been able bottle a bit of that to break out one grim winter day this coming January.
I spend the rest of the morning giving the Emperor his quarterly wash and wax. Amazing the amount of tiny little bits of paint that has chipped off the front end of the car in the 111.5k miles it has traveled and they are all the more noticeable because the primer underneath the dark Garnet Red is white.
