After our time in Iceland, which was very reminiscent of early Minnesota spring, I seem to have returned to fall… not full-on fall, but to the period where there are various intimations… a single red sumac leaf, a certain clarity of the light, a coolness to the morning air. Then I opened the paper, and found that the Minnesota State Fair begins tomorrow, and that, in all its noisy, crowded, junky-foody glory, is the unmistakable harbinger of fall. Summer went by very very quickly; hopefully fall, in its various phases, will move more slowly!
