Summer's Almost Over...

Quite simply:
Bring on winter...The best season of all!

I feel very cold already

Ditto. Love fall.

Summer's almost over?

Doesn't feel like it here today...

but it's about freaking time.

We're in the middle of a tornado watch, it's hot and humid and I hate the feeling of air-conditioning and fans on bare skin.

How hot does it get in BC Reyn?

I'm with nimh on the panic thing. (Was going to say virtually exactly the same thing, then checked previous page.)

I like September and October fine, and even have fondness for the first few snows of the year. But last winter was one of the most difficult periods of my life, literally, stuck inside with a sick, recovering-and-grumpy, or god-I-hope-she-doesn't-get-sick-again kid from about November straight through to March or so. Absolutely awful. Has seriously impacted my previous enjoyment/ anticipation of a proper winter.

If this winter is healthier, may change back a bit. But I love being able to just walk out the door into the nice weather (can do without hot, but we've just gone to the pool every really hot day).

Maybe this will help!




Oh boy I can hardly wait!

Our perceptions have all been shaped by school starting in the fall, turning September and October into months of beginnings.

In the "natural" world, spring is the season for beginnings and autumn is the time of harvest.

why stop

Well, I like summer -- but Spring is actually my favorite time. You're right, Noddy. In the Spring, everything's waking up after the winter, the flowers, trees and grass. It's a time of rebirth.

..always lifts my spirits...

Autumn promises frost which means the end of allergy season.


ahhhhhhhhhh, it's safe again

It is so hot here in this state of Texas that I can't stand to walk outside to get into the hot car. The garage feels like hell itself. Will be sooo glad when about Sept. 15 hits when we can open our windows, turn off that AC. Sept.Oct.&Nov. are heavenly here. Winter is rather ugly with no snow on the bare brown ground.

Autumn? Pleas tell me an Autmn storry.

Here in New England there is no such season as 'Spring.' We go straight from snow on the ground to everything in full bloom overnight, it seems, except for a short one-month 'mud season', as the local farmers call it. Mud. mud, beautiful mud which is a great boon to breeding mosquitoes. I envy all those who rhapsodise about Spring. Think I'll have to move further west.

I was deep winter born, but very summer loving. I am much happier shedding the layers than piling on more.

And the sun. The imperial life giving force that keeps me smiling during the long languid days of summer and sleeps far to early during the winter making me feel like going into a hibernation with the bears.

crap I noticed like the it waslike almost getting pretty dark lastnight at about 8:30pm that depressed me alot.

In the Autumn of 1888 Grampa and Gramma decided it was time to leave their home located near Ruggles Gap. With no other choice they soon were living in Idaho growing potatoes and eating cobwebs for dinner (it was a bad year for spuds). Soon they looked in the sky and saw the geese heading south in their familiar V shaped formation. Grampa turned to Gramma and finally asked her for her hand in marriage. Being an old fashioned gal she drank down her 4th quart of potato vodka and whacked him over the head with the bottle.
"Can't even provide me with proper corn liquor you miserable old goat" to which Grampa responded "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
As the autumn turned to winter Mighty Mouse flew into town and realizing the deplorable mess that he had left when he had not removed Oil Can Harry from town he jumped into his magic sailing ship and....

(or did you want me to sing The Autumn Wind?)

Think of all the great ballads in honor of Autumn:


September Song
The Falling Leaves
Autumn in Vermont
etc.

How many paeans to Spring can you think of?

Summer over? I just know Bush has somthing to do with this.
