I just walked outside
I often don't leave the house for days at a time, but I just walked outside to get something from the car.
It's autumn. I walked outside and it smelled like autumn.
The first day of the year that smells like autumn doesn't just smell like autumn, it smells like every autumn. You smell that, and you don't just smell now, you smell the autumn of every year of your life, past and future. And possibly every autumn before you were born, and after you die, too.
Whenever the seasons change, you get that. Four times a year, you can smell time.

Perhaps I should write about 'Goose Fair weather' sometime, I wonder if anyone else still uses that expression.
