Labor Day

In honor of the meteorological beginning of autumn, I am wearing white.

The entire summer goes by and I decline to wear my snazzy white jeans with the cool bling. But today, when fashion previously wagged its head at “white after Labor Day,” I am exercising my little nod to defiance.

And someone else is exercising a little defiance. A squirrel has deigned to set foot in the backyard. Oh, woe to that little guy hastily burying his stash. He may be taking a vacation in honor of the meteorological beginning of autumn!
