Around here...

It's hot, the thunderstorms have finally stopped, the sun shines most of the time, but it gets chillier in the evenings, and things like this are starting to pop up everywhere...

I hate the end of summer, especially this year since we hardly even had a real summer, but I am looking forward to some things from fall: warm coats, wool sweaters, tagliatelle with mushrooms, strong red wine and yellow trees.
