Question Of The Day, Saturday 24th Of August.

[1 bruce 1]

Early mornings. There's something different and crisper about the air before the sun comes up, and it's a good feeling to drink coffee at 7:30 in the morning or so without dripping sweat into it.
Our lives slow down a lot this time of year in a lot of ways. In the spring, we wake up and have things to do, in the fall, we put a lot of things away in storage and hibernate. I'm always ready to wake up in the spring and always ready to doze off in the fall

I love the colors of the leaves in the fall.

Less bugs, less deer on the roads
Lower electric bill (till winter)
Fall colors in clothing
The air has that crispness
Halloween is coming!
The cats get more snuggly and shed less

I've been to Tampa to visit a friend and liked how it was warm and humid pretty much every day, but I wasn't so keen on all the bugs though.

Well, if you don't want so many bugs, you gotta have a winter that kills them off. Can't have it both ways, unfortunately!

less deer on the roads

Really? Around here there are MORE deer on the roads in the fall, especially after harvest (because they can't hide in the corn anymore). April and October are considered the worst deer strike months.

I don't mind it being warm, but I hate humidity. And it is SO humid here. Even when it's cool it's sometimes too humid to open the windows and I still have to use the AC. But it starts drying out in the fall, and that's what I like best.

Same here. The elk move south around late September thru October. They are all over the roads.

There is a different 'smell' with fall, it definitely different than summer. I think it is the cool, crisp air with so much less humidity. I love the extra time it gives me to work outside, the extra energy. Everything is winding down and not so hectic, less weeds, less watering. Cicadas humming, blackbirds swarming, and squirrels frantically hiding the peanuts I give them!

We're just coming into Spring here. We don't have a really cold winter. I love not feeling incredibly hot and the lack of humidity. And I can get out in the garden much more easily with far less bitey things.
