Crisp nights, warm days — autumn has dawned in classic fashion around the region.
I love it.
Yet I actually heard someone complaining about the weather last week on a warm sunny day, and it wasn’t a person on one of those tornado-chasing tours that swarm the Midwest in the spring and early summer. Frankly, I felt bad for them if they couldn’t find pleasure in sunny skies and temperatures in the low 80s.
Some may consider this steady diet of sunshine and highs in the 70s and 80s dull, since we’ve had a couple of weeks of it. But I’m relishing it for more than one reason. The first is obvious – it’s simply gorgeous weather. The second is that Kansas weather is so often a yo-yo of extremes, so for a consistent pattern to settle in is noteworthy. When that pattern is this beautiful, it’s even better.
So other folks may fuss and fret, but I’m just going to enjoy it.
