how long can this weather last?

Another gorgeous day. I find myself once again sitting on a bench in front of a man-made pond close to the Catharine Chism Recital Hall (a.k.a. The Whitman College Hall of Music), eating lunch and listening to the sounds around me: the laughter of walking gaggles of students, the faded sound of music from the building behind me, the flow of water from an opening in the pond's border to a little stream below, the beeping of a truck in reverse gear. The campus has a calm, green feel to it, even though the leaves have started to fall. It's too bad I won't be around to see what the place looks like when fall comes in earnest.
