Luxury of the Fall
 

I am feeling most luxurious. Fall makes me feel that velvet, chenille, decorations (fall, then Halloween, then Thanksgiving) are in order, and all is pretty alright with the world. The summer depresses me greatly. I hate summer. It's barren. It's arid. It's a desert! Anyone else happy to see the temp. plunge into the 60's?? Global warming? Fuggitaboutit!!

i have to admit, it's nice to drive around H-town with the windows open and opening the windows throughout the house is nice too.....

Fall is by far the best season. Clear, crisp, invigorating.

I just got back from a weekend in Canada. The colors there were spectacular. reminds me of Maine.

October is normally the best weather, too. this year, at least in the NE, we're getting our November rains early. I love crisp fall weather, wool socks and birkenstocks, torn jeans, football games, and some nice clam chowdah!

Fall is my favorite season. Low humidity. Cool weather. Favorite holiday (Thanksgiving). Favorite time to take a bike ride too - even if you have to wear gloves.

Whoopeedo. I got a $387.56 fuel oil delivery yesterday. :eyebrow:

Fall just means I get to look forward to aching hands and knees. Mother Nature is taunting me...

There's no Fall here!

But there is a lot of Air-con ;)

So, you bought what, quarter of a tank or so, just topping off from last year?

Is this fuel oil stuff like propane? I've had propane, but never "fuel oil".

I almost have my yard cleaned up from Katrina. Soon what leaves that are left will fall.
Then I can start over :smack: Oh yes and firewood to be cut, split, & stacked. Crap

I like fall until daylight savings ends around the end of the month. Unlike some of the rest of you, I am now leaving my windows shut more often than open. Fall is a favorite time of year, though. In the Southwest, the air takes on a mysterious incadescent quality to it. The days are often still warm, but the nights are getting cold. The mountains here have just finished their annual spectacular display of Aspens and the high mountains outside my front windows are covered with the first sprinkle of snow. Pretty soon, Pikes Peak will assume its snow whitle mantle that won't come off until sometime around next April. Here's a couple of Aspen shots from my trip a couple of weeks back:

man, is there a freakin green with envy smilie?!

You like? Here's a couple more. The first is a shot from the Gondola that goes from Telluride to Mountain Village. You can see Telluride way below in the right of the picture. That Gondola ride is spectacular! The second is a shot of the mountains going over Lizard Head Pass:
