I remember there is some other feeling besides "oven blast" but can't recall what it was like. Looking forward to the cold snap we will get on Thurs when it will only be 98. Wheeeee! The weather broke here the last few days, low 70's...blissful, but today forcasted to be 90 and for the two days after that, 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn Morani Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Being practically a native Floridian, I don't have much actual experience with autumn except for four years that I spent on a picturesque New England college campus. But my whole life, I've had this crazy sort of romanticized view of autumn with foliage, apple orchards, cider, cinnamon, hot chocolate, warm colors, cozy sweaters, friends gathered 'round the fireplace, and crisp tempartures that turn your cheeks rosy. Maybe it's because I have a fall birthday, but the idea of fall has always appealed to me, and it's always felt like the season that most "fit" my personality. Autumn feels like a time for reflection, perhaps because of shortening days, and trees shedding their leaves, and people beginning to spend more time indoors as the temperature drops; more of a family time, and a time for deeper conversations with friends and loved ones. The thought of fall, or at least the idealized version of fall that exists in my head, always makes me feel invigorated and introspective at the same time.

Jo Yardley Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I love everything about autumn but especially the weather. I HATE sun, summer, beaches, heat and all that stuff related to summer. I LOVE rain, wind, long nights, etc, etc. So summer to me is hell, autumn is lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your idyllic autumn was my actual childhood. I'll still pick apples, have my own cider press and a jar full of cinnamon sticks always ready for either cider or hot chocolate. I'll carve pumpkins, but no longer for the local contest, I've won enough "Wisconsin Native Fishes" posters for a lifetime. I'll set out my spooky eyeball lights on the paths through my woods, split and stack wood for the fireplace, chase after the squirrels who are busy digging up my mulch to bury nuts and bury myself in the piles of maple leaves I drag across the lawn on a 20x20 foot tarp. I'll crawl around my home's foundation with an old compact mirror in my hand, looking for gaps between the siding and the foundation, hoping once again to discover how the mice get into my attic to quietly unwrap christmas presents like I did long ago. I won't figure it out and so will set a dozen peanut butter laden traps to welcome them in from the approaching cold. Autumn is a magical time, but not for everyone. /me goes off to introspect.

Void Singer Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 ... only in small amounts? =X oddly I really don't like "bread and butter" sweet pickles at all.... they look appealing righ up till I take a bite.... I grew up with dills so I think it's a reaction to expectation not being what I wanted... like reaching into a fridge at midnight, pouring a glass of milk in the dark and taking a swig only to realize you poured OJ instead....

Dresden Ceriano Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 1. The colors... I simply adore the oranges, reds and purples. 2. The whether... living in New Orleans is hell with the heat and humidity. Fall means a tiny bit of relief... yay!!! 3. As Void said... Halloween... my favorite holiday. I'm having a party this year and I expect everyone to attend... it is written... lol. New Orleans' weather is all about fronts... the first front that comes in cool (well cooler anyway) and dry will send me into heaven and leave me wishing that my life will be forever autumn... ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyo Darcy Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I am a big fan of autumn probably because I am born in october. I love rainy days if I am at home. It is so cool to be in a warm place and listen to the raindrops and rain on the window. I always feel this times like they are mystic and pretty much "north german" where I am from. Those days when all peoples cry "damn rain damn weather" I scream "I loveeeee it" and peoples do not understand. I also like to take my umbrella and go outside if its rainy. Peoples cant understand but I love it. I like to nose the fresh air and the wet grass.. the wet plants and maybe streets. I just like it. I always feel like a child on these days.. and I guess peoples just think "Look at her.. she´s singing in the rain!! Crazy?". No I am not. Again.. I am born in october.. and those weather always show me how wonderful life can be. When it is summer and peoples feel great... then I feel mad if its to hot.. I feel like they would feel if its rainy for them.. just mad. Maybe peoples think it is strange. But why should everyone love summer? I love autumn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty weather?... pfft. After having gone through Katrina, this will be like a little drizzle shower. I doubt we'll even lose power for this one *knocks on wood*, but I do appreciate your concern. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dresden Ceriano Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Okay, so I'm gonna change my skybox back into autumn attire, but what I really need is a place where I can take a decent pic with an autumn atmosphere... does anyone know of one? To give you a reference, here's the pic I took for spring... So, what I'm looking for is something comparable in autumn colors (this was a place inworld, that I played around with in PS... that is what I intend to do once again). Thanks in advance ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the cycle of bees/wasps, but wonder if there are good or bad years for them? Last year was horrible, this year I hardly noticed any around the house or nesting.

Eloise Baily Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Oh I don't know where you live Kylie but it has been a black and yellow nightmare for me lately. Funny though, I have no qualms with bees at all. I love them. Wasps though are what made me an atheist. Loving God my arse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
