Fall is in the airSummer was officially over a month ago, but the weather refused to cooperate. Now the temperature is finally dropping a little. When I wake up in the mornings to go to work, it is still dark. Dinners on the balcony are now by candlelight, as the sun sets earlier.
I read that in Holland, when the clocks are changed, people are depressed for just about an entire week. I kind of like the darkness, makes me nostalgic.

A cheikh on the road, out for a stroll (I assume)I’ll be spending the weekend in the mountain house, preparing it for the Christmas holiday. I’m not a great fan of the mountain house, since the mountain villages in Lebanon are pretty much deserted in fall and winter. There are of course the hard-core inhabitants; those that live all year-round in the mountains. But it seems to me that the majority of the houses are owned by Beiruti-based Lebanese, and they only show up in summertime. Still, the weather at this time of year is at its best.
Shepherd with his goatsAnd so this weekend, I’m off to the mountain house. We’ll be buying pumpkins, and watch the pinecone seed (snoubra) harvest. I hear they go at $30 a kilo these days. And I’ve got my Piff-Paff ready.
And so I leave you with some mountain scenes.
