Dreaming of Fall

Summer on the southwest coast of Florida is very hot and humid. Surviving it requires an abundance of water activities and air conditioning. Needless to say, by the first weekend of September, I'm ready for relief. It has not yet come. So yesterday, desperate, I braved the still and sticky heat at our local farmer's market. And was rewarded with a beautiful fall flower arrangement, sold by a vendor as anxious for the season to change as me.

Later, back in the air conditioning, I picked up these hints of fall at a local thrift store. My favorite find was the silk, mushroom print scarf. It shall keep my hair in place beautifully if the wind ever blows in these parts again...
