The end of summer; the beginning of fall

It seems like the change in seasons from summer to fall lasts a whole month. When September starts, so does the feeling of autumn. We get back into our routines and schedules that define the transition. By the time the first official day of fall rolls around, on September 21 or 22, we are already entrenched in the fall season. But often we still get such great summer weather well into October. In summer it feels like fall has begun; in fall it feels like it's still summer. The lines are blurred. And so they are in our lives, too.
