All things considered, Indian Summer is my favorite season of the year. The mornings and evenings are crisp, but the afternoons are mild and pleasant. The air is clear, the leaves are turning all sorts of colors, and there's occasionally a hint of burning wood as people uncap their fireplaces for the cold season ahead.

Then again, the mornings and evenings can go from "crisp" to "cold". The very definition of "Indian Summer" -- a warm autumn period following the first frost -- indicates that the nights are more frigid than crisp, and that snow can fall when it's least expected. I can start out shivering in a winter coat in the morning and be drenched in sweat by the time I get to my morning destination, go out for lunch in a sweater -- or no over layer at all -- and need that winter coat again by the time I get home in the evening.
