“… how brief the time is on a summer afternoon
when the sun is warm on your neck and the world
might as well be a dog sleeping on a porch, or a child
for whom an afternoon is endless, endless. Time:
thick honey, and no one is saying good-bye.”
– July Notebook: The Birds, poem by Robert Hass

Entering fall, my favorite season, here in San Francisco means our endlessly warm, sunny, Indian summer days, sailing on the Bay, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate Park, apple picking in Sebastopol.
