What Kind of Cue Guides You?

I am completely overjoyed that the summer like weather continues well beyond its time into October, love wearing the sandals and being outside, but one thing is starting to bother me.  I know that it is the time of year that I should be trimming and clearing in my flower beds and preparing for their winter rest, but I am having trouble doing it seeing how lush they all remain. My usual cues of frost and floppiness, colder weather and cool breezes is missing, its only the calendar that says it is time. Its an interesting thought to ponder, what do we get cues for that guide us, what kind of environment do we need to remind us to do the rhythmic things in our year?  I know I feel more like holiday preparation if we have had a snowfall, I feel like planting new things if the spring weather is well established and I fall into some childhood patterns when I have the social cues of being with my siblings at my childhood home.  Its all part of what makes us unique and on our own separate journeys, we could be two people in an identical situation and group but interpreting it completely differently.  I see things based on what I have experienced.  Everyone interprets weather, smells, sounds and environments differently.  Another reminder to just be kind and share space in the garden.
