This is about when it begins to happen.<\/p>\n

The first part of October can be surprisingly dulcet in lreland, seeming more like an extension of September than anything else. The weather doesn\u2019t often oblige with prolonged, still, modestly-warm periods of the \u201cIndian summer\u201d type, but at least it tends to settle a bit. Later in the month, though, comes the shift, when you know the true autumn is upon you.<\/p>\n

Here are five ways to tell autumn has genuinely (in its sneaky way) arrived in the countryside here.<\/p>\n

(5) You start hearing \u201cSure aren\u2019t the [leaf] colors getting lovely\u201d from the neighbors<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

I should say \u201cneighbours\u201d, really, in this instance. And \u201ccolours\u201d. And you know what? They\u2019re okay. (Meaning the colours. The neighbours are far better than okay: they\u2019re brilliant.) But for those of us who come from places with hard winters, the colors are kind of\u2026 meh.<\/em><\/p>\n

The problem comes in two parts: the local flora and the local climate. Even now, with climate change way too well in progress, Ireland hasn\u2019t historically run to cold winters: the Jet Stream has seen to that. (When it\u2019s been where it\u2019s supposed to be, that is, at least judging in terms of the behavior of the last half a millennium or so. And don\u2019t start<\/em> with me right now if you\u2019re one of those \u201cThe recent climate is a blip\u201d people: just go have that conversation somewhere else if you\u2019d be so kind.)<\/p>\n

I say no more than necessary here of the godawful winters of 2011 and 2012, which dumped feet of snow all over everything (our little road never did<\/em> get plowed in 2011, and thank God for our neighbors who would run us down to the shops or bring heating oil up for us in jerrycans to make sure our central wouldn\u2019t conk out, because the fuel trucks couldn\u2019t make it up the hill through the snow) and killed damn near every palm tree in the country. But those would be the serious exception to the rule, and the rule is: mild wet winters with temperatures that only rarely fall below freezing, even here on the high ground, and even then only for short periods.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to the flora. Around here we\u2019re short on the kinds of trees that develop great color. No maples here (though we have quite a lot of sycamore (the species is invasive, and has crowded out some of the trees that used to be more prevalent). Most of the rest of what we\u2019ve got locally is oak and beech \u2014 a lot of beech. So the available colors are pretty much brown and yellow, with a bit of soft orange. And since what it takes to trigger the leaf chemistry that develops into dramatic autumn color is relatively cold weather, drama is pretty much what Irish autumn color lacks in a normal year. It\u2019s nothing like the eye-vibrating yellows and reds that you can get on the East Coast of the US in autumn, even in the suburbs.<\/p>\n

So our neighbors\u2019 cries of delight leave me a little underwhelmed. After a few decades of practice I now find it possible to not immediately segue into mutters of \u201cAre you kidding, this is nothing<\/em> on Vermont, or even the Catskills\u2026\u201d and so on. But it\u2019s a trial.<\/p>\n

Well, this too will pass. And I\u2019m not speaking figuratively, as in places up here the leaves are already saying \u201cThe hell with this, I\u2019m done\u201d and coming off the trees almost before they\u2019re finishing acquiring what modest color they\u2019re going to get. (Peter\u2019s line is that there are only sixty days in a year when the beech trees surrounding us are not<\/em> dropping their leaves. Sometimes I think he has a point.)<\/p>\n

(4) Waking up the central heating<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

You wake up in the morning to find that too-familiar condensation inside those windows in the house that aren\u2019t double-glazed, and say, \u201cUh oh. Time to turn it on\u2026\u201d For much of the year (in recent years) it seemed like sort of a game to see how long you could go without needing the central. Then fuel prices dropped and there was just a shade<\/em> less virtue in gritting your teeth and Not Using Up The Oil. Now, though, you start doing calculations of whether you want to get the guys up for a delivery, or wait a bit longer and pay some other bill instead. The Lesser Calculus of Climate\u2026<\/p>\n

(3) Bed socks become a thing<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Even with a good heavy duvet and a warm husband\/wife\/other, feet can get surprisingly cold without warning, these nights (especially when #4 hasn\u2019t yet shifted to \u201coh go ahead, turn it on for a bit\u201d). Or maybe you just run to cold feet normally, and taking the easy way out and shoving them up against a nice warm bit of your nice warm partner is not, um, particularly appreciated. So: time for the bed socks.<\/p>\n

And then you go searching for them. But where the hell are<\/em> they? You want the good ones, the soft fluffy ones that came from Marks & Spencer. <\/a>Except they\u2019re black, like an alarming amount of other clothing around this household, and therefore God Herself only knows where they are in a closet that\u2019s full of black things already. And the ones you do<\/em> find are those crap thermal socks from last year, the ones that were OK until you washed them. And they\u2019re hot pink. Oh God<\/em> what possessed you. \u201cWhere are the Marks ones!\u201d<\/em> the cry goes up. And Echo answereth not. Maybe you\u2019ll find them by spring. Wait, is this a black one? Oh no, wait, it\u2019s one of those ones with the rubber nonslip ribbing on the soles. And anyway, there\u2019s only one of them; the other is missing. (And the rubber<\/em> is hot pink. What were<\/em> you thinking? Another question for the ages.)<\/p>\n

Finally you just put on whatever you can find. Because, seriously, no one in their right mind would walk barefoot on the tiles in the kitchen, the way they\u2019re feeling at the moment. And it\u2019s only going to get worse.<\/p>\n

(2) The sweaters \/ jumpers \/ pullies come out<\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/h4>\n

In the Spring you folded them up and shoved them right to the back of the drawers \/ closet shelves. But now, especially if the conditions mentioned in #4 remain as yet unaltered, they\u2019re starting to look awfully good. And admit it, when you were in town the other day you looked in the store windows in Grafton Street and began to lust after some of the sweaters you saw there. Not to mention the cashmere in the\u00a0Herm\u00e8s boutique in Brown Thomas<\/a>. Insanity even to think<\/em> of it at those prices, but it looked so lush.<\/em> (Never mind. The wannabe-cashmere from Marks is still quite nice. In fact, you have<\/em> some of that. Go put it on right now<\/em> and then go on downstairs and make some tea.)<\/p>\n

And finally and possibly most diagnostic of all around here:<\/p>\n

(1) Microwaving the butter<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Summer in Ireland is when you don\u2019t have to microwave the butter after it\u2019s been out on the counter all night.<\/p>\n

But summer routinely doesn\u2019t last long. And eventually one morning you realize that the toast would get torn to shreds by butter in the consistency it has at the moment. That\u2019s when you know: Yes, autumn is truly here.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Ten seconds is about right for our present microwave. (Our old fan oven-microwave would let us do five, but alas it hasn\u2019t been replaced as yet.) \u2026At least you know<\/em> by now how long it needs to hit that magic point between not-quite-enough-to-spread-yet and WHOOPS, okay, I\u2019ll make some pasta con aglio-olio-e-peperoncini<\/em> and pour this in it.<\/p>\n

\u2026And now<\/em> you can butter your toast, and sit down and have your tea, and think about whether or not you really<\/em> want to turn on the central.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
