Around here we’re going to see some cooler weather this month, but we’re not likely to see real autumn weather until early October. Fall foliage won’t peak until the end of October or early November. But we will start to see fall produce, especially apples, in our markets very soon. Social constructs? Our parks departments think summer begins Memorial Day weekend and ends on Labor Day, school year starts around Labor Day and ends in late June. And do I need to mention fall sports, with baseball winding down and football starting up? Or the fall television season gearing up?
