The sky is that blue, the trees are that orange... and it's not so bloody hot.
I like wearing jackets. And jeans. I'm slowly killing myself by refusing to dress for 35 degree weather.

The first thing I'll do when Autumn REALLY gets here is make a campfire in my backyard (firepit)......have an adult beverage......hang out with my dogs and whoever comes over to enjoy it......

One of the main things I miss about my long-ago home in Massachusetts (I moved to central Georgia 7 years ago) is actual, honest to goodness SEASONS. There was a defined Spring, and Summer, and Autumn, and Winter. Here in the bible belt we have Wet, Hot, Damn Hot, and Cold. You know I read in a study somewhere that people who grow up in regions with defined seasons are smarter and more able to tolerate unexpected life changes than people who grow up in seasonless climes. I wonder - does the IQ you gain starting your life with seasons deteriorate when you leave?

Interesting about that study with the higher IQ being triggered by changing seasons. I say NO WAY do you lose it when you leave. Living without seasons can't make you dumber. Just less tolerant to freezing cold.

In May my heart was breaking --
Oh, wide the wound, and deep!
And bitter it beat at waking,
And sore it split in sleep.
And when it came November,
I sought my heart, and sighed,
"Poor thing, do you remember?"
"What heart was that?" it cried.

I can't wait for that first hint of woodsmoke in the air...and on my dogs fur when she comes in from running in the yard. That's when I know it's really Autumn.
