I swear, in Maine you can FEEL the air change on August 1st. It’s still warm, even hot, but Autumn is preparing her Entrance.

I noticed this in Maryland a few years ago more towards the end of August though. It's a smell on the wind that cuts through the blanket of steam that's been in place in Maryland since June. A herald of the fall that thrills me right around my personal New Year's day.
