It's almost time to turn off some of the ceiling fans. The last one to go will be the one in the bedroom at night. There are seven of them around the house, the one in the den that has run continuously since about May 15 is still on.

Days and evenings are comfortable here, it's still jeans and t-shirt weather, but it is a practice that when one goes to public buildings (I was in a large auditorium last night for a lecture) one takes along a sweater in case the air conditioning is to keep produce fresh.
