The TCS'ers in warm climates will hate me.


I took the wool quilt out of the closet and put it on the bed!!

It might be a bit early but the nights are getting cooler and the cotton blanket and the coverlet wasn't cutting it.

Bobs has been giving us a sign for fall to as she has been sneaking under the covers at night-for a tiny cat she gives off alot of heat.


I did wake up early morning as was a bit warm though and of course the windows are still open.

Same here in Ontario the nights are starting to get pretty chilly. When I went to bed last night around midnight the temp was 9(54). So my comforter is also back on my bed and all three kitties had piled in with me this morning.
Pixie and Sassy are content on top of the blankets, but little Linus loves to burrow in under the blankets..

Personally I like the cooler temps for sleeping.

I can relate! I've had to close my bedroom window. I leave it open about 2 inches all winter, but at this time of year the weather is cold and damp and for me that is the worst type of cold and it bothers my joints badly. I do have a water bed and keep the temperature constant all year. When the weather is warmer I tend to sleep on top of the covers, lately I've been pulling them up right under my chin. I get warm during the night and kick them off and wake up cold!

Another sure sign for me are my bobcats. I was looking at them this morning and saw the long hairs starting to fill in. They are beginning to get their beautiful winter coats. By the beginning of October, their food intake will rapidly increase. When I see that, I know snow will be just around the corner. Of course, we have a while before we see that

We are going to rely on John to tell us if it's going to be a bad winter by how thick the bobcats' fur is.

I love Fall

O-H-I-O!
I had 3 comforters on the bed! I can't sleep if I'm warm though so we still had the windows open
It had to only be in the low 60s last night and didn't get much higher than 70* here today either! But perfect football weather

Its been nice and cool here too, almost sweater weather
This coming week the highs will be in the upper 60s- lower 70s

I love giving the AC a break and letting the cool breeze flow in!

IA. If you need me, just meow..
I had all the windows opened last night and it was chilly at 6 this morning. I wanted to SO call off work and snuggle back into bed with hubby and the kitties. It got warmer though. But it's cooling down again since the sun went down. This is the type of weather that give me colds...

Another hi 90's day here. Quilt is a 4-letter word. The a/c has come on early in the am for about 2 weeks.

We are going to have a cold front move in tomorrow. Should only be in the 80s until the 90s return Sat. and Sun.

It's cool here, too. They're saying a high of 55ish for Monday!
All well, means I can get out & exercise with the dogs more.

Over the river and through the woods...
It's getting cool here at night too, and we've already seen flocks of geese migrating which is unusual this early. They normally don't start until the end of sept, so we may be getting an early fall here. The days are still pretty warm though. I love fall, but I'm not looking forward to winter. Maybe I'll just be a bear and hibernate through it!

That's it! When I retire, I'm moving to Minnesota! Most people want to go to a warmer climate...not me. It's going to be in the high 80's here all week and I'm tired of it.
BTW...my grandparents came to Minnesota from Norway and my Mom was born there. So that may explain why I'm inclined to cooler weather. It's that Norwegian blood.

What's this thing you call fall?
I live in Florida and we have only two seasons - Summer, where it's hot and unbelievably humid w/ heat indexes well over 100 degrees
and (if we are lucky) 1-2 weeks of weather in the mid 50's to 60's
. We can't wait to move

Wow- you'd hate it down here Gail
Lately i've been kicking all of the covers off me at night and sleeping with the fan on full blast
I just get soo hot it's rediculious! I think part of it is just me though!
