Stories from the Village of Nothing Much · Splash, Crunch, Sigh · 24 Aug 2026 podcast

The same conversation the August before, and possibly the one before that too.

It's always this way, she sighed.

A few trees turn early, some because it's just their makeup, and some because the end of the summer dry spells can send a signal to them to wrap it up for the year.

I knew she was right, but still.

This early sign of the coming season surprised me.

And it wasn't the only one that did.

There was a row of burning bushes along the country road near the lavender farm.

And their deep green leaves were now crimson.

The farmers' market stalls were absolutely overflowing with produce.

But it wasn't the tender lettuce and sweet berries of early summer.

I'd brought home a zucchini the size of my arm, a spaghetti squash, and a basket of crisp, sweet apples the last time I'd gone.

I suspected any day now, Brussels sprouts and curly endive would show up.

And then would come the pumpkins.

I could hardly believe it.

We were at most weeks away from pumpkins.

And I wasn't sad about how the summer had flown.

Just sort of shocked.

I thought back.

It had been a wonderful summer.

Maybe that is what made it pass so quickly, how much I'd enjoyed it.
