Hail the autumnal
On a walk yesterday we started noticing leaves changing color, on huge oaks, small maples and a line of sweet gums along the lake. Summer lingers in a cooler version, more lovely than it was a month ago.
I've finished the main text of Felix Holt, and have gone back to the introduction, which was difficult to get engaged in before. There is also an appendix which contains something called "Address to Working Men, by Felix Holt", written by George Eliot. She was urged to write this by a fellow writer, in the persona of her main male character in the novel. It could serve very well now as a rallying effort for USA workers who are being robbed of their livelihoods by corporate plunderers. Too long to quote, but was written in 1870. Worth a look.

Even we in baking SoCal are getting something like your cooler version of summer. Much appreciated after the scorch-a-thon of a few weeks ago.
