We actually had two straight nights where the low temperature got down to 32. Freeze in early October in Toledo. On the plus side, hay fever season ended early, but then again hay fever hasn’t been too big a problem for me in recent years. (It was a real pain when I was an adolescent, though.) On the minus side, I don’t want to think about how this is going to affect the foliage this month; it could very well ruin the last autumn I spend here in Toledo. (Having said that, I’ve probably just jinxed myself into not getting accepted into any MFA programmes and winding up staying here working for my folks next fall and still living with them.)
