Seriously! [ img ]

We could do something very seasonal (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere/Temperate Zone, anyway). Favorite Autumn Memories? Favorite Things About Fall?

The weather goes from "unbearably hot" to merely "hot".

I miss fall :( It's my favorite season, at least in locations where it actually exists.

:( Sorry.

I will say that our autumn came in like a lion this year! It was quite warm, even hot, up until the past week or so. Then BAM! It's cold, upper 50s. Fall is definitely here; I'm just hoping that we get a few more warm days before the snow flies.

The leaves are starting to change color. That fall smell is in the air. The fields are full of goldenrod and purple asters; the soybeans are rusty brown. And the sky is that amazing blue, deep and vibrant.

You know what I miss? I miss the smell of burning leaves. I can remember spending hours helping my dad rake the leaves from our large yard full of trees. Blisters on my hands, nose red from the cold, we'd finally work the leaves to the road. We lived in a little neighborhood, tucked away off a small road. Our road was just gravel and very little traffic traveled it. So we'd burn the huge piles of leaves all afternoon long.

I know it's bad for the environment and dangerous and all of that, but there's nothing like the smell of leaves burning on a crisp fall day. :)

Tomorrow we can have a fire!!! The burning ban is over!!! Lord_M and I are going to have to arm wrestle over who gets to start the BIG pile.

I guess I'll let him do it. I'll do the little ones.

My husband says I'm a pyro. I'm not, but I do like the flames . . . . :devil:

Are you burning leaves? If so, can you bottle up the smoke and mail it to me? ;)

Oh, here are some pics I took today. There's a big sunflower field nearby that has become something of a local tradition for people to take pictures at. (Ignore the bad grammar, please.)

9 minutes until October!! I can hardly wait.

And that means fulgent New England foliage, which is supposed to be truly spectacular this year thanks to the less than lovely weather. It also means pumpkins and baked pumpkin seeds, apple cider, cider doughnuts, tart Macintosh apples. New England is somehow more New Englandy in the fall.

That sounds like an excellent name for a poem.

Yes, but don't tell him about this. Firemen and policemen have this rivalry thing. :roll:

I wonder why that is? We have it here too.



Anyway I love fall, all the colors, September is one of my favorite months. But alas September is over now.

Firefighters get all the love and glory. Think about it. They only save people. Policemen sometimes save people, but they also sometimes punish them (or at least catch them when they're breaking the law).

It's a friendly rivalry, really. Freddy gets along with the firefighters, and they get along with him and the other officers.
