summer's fall

Yesturday TS and I tried to go shopping for some beach essentials: shorts, swim suits, flip flops. There are none of any of these available in BK.* I realize that we are vacationing on the later side of the season, but it is still summer. However, the stores seem to have a full stock of cords and the latest wool blazers available. All and all was irritating to not find what we need**. I know that stores push the seasons early (see post below) but TS insited that autumn was so far away and I agreed.
Then I stepped out on my stoop this morning and felt a crispness in the air that is definitly fall-esque. A leaf even floated down to the sidewalk along 8th ave. . . I guess I cant be too upset, autumn in NY is so inviting . . . it will be good to live it again.


*OK, I contend that there may be a pair of drawstring linen cargo shorts, size 6 white wedge flip flops, or 40 odd bikini bottoms to be found
** and therefor will have to shop Maxway while at the beach
