September and October

During the summer when I come home from work, I change into tee shirt and shorts, and walk around the house barefoot. Most Septembers, I try to maintain this routine. Some years I find myself very cool about the equinox, tempted to go to bed early to warm up. On October 1 of such years, I put on jeans and a flannel shirt with satisfaction

This year there has been no such challenge. The high on October 2 was above the 90 Fahrenheit, and it isn't much cooler today. On Wednesday, I noticed a hibiscus still in bloom on 16th Street NW about Riggs Place:


There was only one flower, down from about ten two weeks ago:



Still, I am not used to hibiscuses in a Washington fall.
