I had to don my gloves and ear wrap for my early morning jog the day before last. It was 22 in this mountain idea of autumn! I noticed Orion followed me as I shuffled along. I think even he had on his Gore-tex fleece-lined coat under his 3-starred belt!
jealousjealousjealous!!! If you'll excuse me, I have to go budget now so I can move to NC next year and get the frick out of this godforsaken state (FL) :(
Melanie and I are in the same boat! I think it is coming sooner than usual though. Keep in mind we in FL still have almost three months left in hurricane season! Sheesh! Welcome fall! daisy
I really think fall is coming early. The Goldenrod and wild Asters were in bloom the first of August and have gone by. I remember them in September when school started because the teachers admonished to not bring bouquets of Goldenrod into the building because of allergies. It is 52 degrees in Downeast Maine. Good sleeping weather finally after a very unusually hot summer.
Fire in the woodstove this morning here is WI. Tomatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage on the counter, granola in the oven and bread rising on the counter. Fall?...bring it on.
I'm so jealous that you've been feeling like it's Summer for so long! Here in Northern Germany, it started feeling like Autumn at the start of August... I feel so cheated. :(
I'm all the way in California, and that's exactly what we were saying last night too. It felt like fall--air moving, high clouds parading through the sky, and a little chill that made the hair stand on our forearms.
How funny that fall hit us on exactly the same night so far away. Not every day you can say that.

Enjoy the story of a young writer living in Washington County with her fancy dogs, sheep, lots of chickens, fiber & meat rabbits, geese, ducks, turkeys, a hive and a garden. Expect to hear a lot about mountain music, the civil war, local food, and my friends along the way. It's a big time folks.

Isn't it wonderful, isn't it swell?

It sure is and I just love how it just waltzes in the door without so much as a knock, as if it was expected and doesn't need to announce itself.
Here in California too! Woo-Hoo!
it's magic, isn't it? you should check out my "ode to the -er's": http://small-measure.blogspot.com/2010/09/ode-to-ers.html. i think you'd approve...
Lucky you! It is positively balmy where I am and was hot today. I am so ready for fall!
Getting down into the 40's tonight in Wisconsin...loving it!!!
Seconding Melanie J. here. Except my own godforsaken state is Texas, and I want to live in Utah and not NC.
:-)
Keep posting about autumn. It's been too, too long for me and I enjoy the vicarious pleasure of reading about it more than I can say.
Is it just me, or are we getting an early fall this year? It seems early to me...
Same here! We even got a little rain. Nothing better than snuggling in a blanket.

Rural Revival, I love what you said about autumn. Very poetic...thank you
Fall? Y'all quit bragging! It was 94 and humid yesterday, gonna be 96 today. 95 tomorrow for variety. Lows in the mid 70s.
I HATE Florida.
