I think you almost have to be a native Floridian to notice the beginning of autumn in the Sunshine State.

The evenings come earlier, gently easing the afternoon heat.
There is something to be said for the anticipation of what is yet to come, and for me, September is the epitome of promise. It is a season of slow contemplation—a quiet pause before the seasons of gathering that are still to come.
