A Chill Has Settled In.

Eisenberg seems to be afoot.

This morning a drizzle looked like it would settle in for the day but luckily, it changed its mind and by lunchtime the sun had won the day. Albeit a slightly chillier version of a day and it almost seems unreal to think that three days ago we had temperatures of over thirty degrees.

Thanks to a trendy array of raincoats in bright mauve and red respectively, I was ready to brave the rain. In fact, I love it when I can walk in the rain as otherwise my raincoat are mere spots of colour in our vestibule. Saturdays and Sundays I try and wear something bright in case the weekend hunters aim a bit of course. Raincoats are perfect for it.

This afternoon the skies were blue and the sun was out which caused many an Eisenberg family to be out and about. Rather nice that such an outdated trend has kept up here. I say outdated because x-box, phone and co have become the new adventures of families. Each in their own room, stagnant in front of those modern devices and oblivious to the real world around them.

Driving back from the vineyards this afternoon I was happy to drive past at least three families going for an afternoon's walk. Kids on tricycles, bicycles or foot, parents dressed in their Sunday best with all of them smiling and enjoying the time together. Fabulous.

In the heat of this year's hot summer Bob and I were yearning for chillier times and honestly, now that it is here we both fear an extremely cold winter ahead. Let's hope the next few months are going to be average in temperature as those extremes are anything but fun.
