Watching the Seasons Change

    Summer is ending.
    School is starting up again, the weather's starting to cool down (or, in some areas, just stop being scorching hot), animals are beginning to recede into their hidden homes, and  Halloween candy and decorations are starting to show up in stores.
    Pretty soon, trees and other plants will start losing their leaves, cool breezes will start to blow, and the sunsets will come sooner. The seasons are morphing, changing right before our eyes.
    The transformation can be so subtle, but it's also so fascinating. Being able to watch things change on a widespread level, observing a shift that literally sweeps across the whole world . . . Noticing something so huge just seems really fascinating and beautiful.
    Do you always notice when the seasons change? Is there a specific thing that marks it, like certain birds that flock across the sky, or a specific crop that grows?
