This October is particularly lovely. It looks like autumn. It smells like autumn. But it feels like summer. We’ve been getting August-like weather (near Toronto) for the past several days. Life is good!
Leaves! Fall!
Oh, how I miss you. I’m stuck in Nashville were it is still July.
My sweaters are crying out from the closet.
I’ve already spent $6,932 on self-tanner this year……make it stop!
I’m with Teryn. Fall in Texas lasts for approximately 37.4 minutes. Then you get winter, where it is either 70 degrees or 30 degrees, sometimes in the same day.
It’s actually started to cool down here in Sunny Southern California. It’s only going up to the mid 80s instead of mid 90s.
But the nights are lovely.
And apartment living makes sure I don’t have to rake leaves (which is actually part of the reason I moved here.)
And the hummingbirds are all around. So that’s lovely.
After having moved back to Denver after 3 years in Los Angeles, I can tell you that those things are called leaves. It’s this new word I learned a few days ago, called Fall. I think I am in love with Fall.

October 8, 2007 at 9:32 amDo you know how weird it is to have 87 degrees and leaves falling off the trees? Not natural.

MammaLoves says
October 8, 2007 at 11:06 amI’m hoping the leaves will cover up my dead grass. Can it please rain? Just like once a month? I don’t live in a desert.

October 8, 2007 at 1:22 pmNice pic. As far as I’m concerned, autumn can wait, we’ve had shitty weather all summer so we deserve a mild fall.

Heather B. says
October 8, 2007 at 4:44 pmI can’t wait to get back home and see foliage next weekend and do all that wonderful fall stuff like wearing a sweater and picking apples.
Laurenne says

David says
October 8, 2007 at 5:40 pmI’ve never seen so many people so excited about leaves. They grow on trees. They fall off. How terribly exciting.
My backyard is Brooklyn.

October 8, 2007 at 8:59 pmi guess global warming doesn’t stop the leaves from falling…but it sure makes it feel very un-fall-y…when it’s 85 degrees in october!

October 10, 2007 at 10:54 amHeather B, do you have to wear sweaters to pick apples? Because seriously, we do it in the nude in South Texas.
