The spread

What the season gives Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.
What it takes First Frost A sharp, clarifying cold. Things become briefly obvious. What to avoid: A hard start read as a bad omen.
What it asks of you First Bloom Evidence, not hope. Something you planted is provably alive. What to avoid: Celebrating at the sprout and abandoning at the stem.

It is autumn in Washington, D.C., and the reading begins with the least mysterious fact available: the light is a particular length today.

First Frost holds the middle and points at a piece of clothing, a piece of furniture or a room that needs changing.

Then the reading names a window of about ten days in which this is easy, and after which it is not.

Decide what you will not do this month.

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.

You are allowed to begin again without an announcement.
