Goodbye Fall.

You know fall is gone when

• gloves, hats and scarfs are more like necessities than accessories
• the hair is so dry that it breaks easily
• trees bald and maple leaves filled the pathways
  
• the heater is turned on more regularly each day
  
• you walk with your chin tucked into the bush of scarf
• scattered flurries are expected instead of rain

I guess its true that pretty things don't last, perhaps that is precisely why they are so attractive. Goodbye, autumn :(
