Hello Fall!

I love the Spring and Summer, too. The smell of strawberries wafting in through the open window when I get up, the sound of tall grasses and wheat blowing in the breeze, the warmth and ease of movement (now that I’m older).

All the seasons are lovely to me, Autumn and Winter are both very lovely but they’re harder to deal with, I’ve found.
Ah well. At least 1st snow is beautiful. For about 10 minutes.

We had one week where it was in the 90s, the rest of the time was low 80s.

For me it’s the honeysuckle that makes it amazing!

For sure! :smiley:

I’m gonna make sure to document the whole process so I can turn it into a video for Tiktok. I think that would be a lot of fun.

I’m learning SO much too with doing these crafts too.

Omg yes and they taste so good too. Ya take the little bit off the end and suck the nectar out and it tastes like honey :smiley:

I checked into that. Heat records were not broken, not sure why that was reported but I ignored it.

Summer came late here, where I am. It’s been nice though, not real hot but then it doesn’t usually get hot where I’m at.

There have been a lot of fires, globally, all during the same time frame and I find that interesting. Seems it may have to do with lava movement underground, coming up but I don’t have enough info to talk further on it.
At least here it’s finally raining.
We’re living in interesting times.

There’s this kinda strange but very cool thing that happens in the Autumn where I’m at.

Because of my location, the jet stream will bring in the smell of pineapple, I think it’s coming all the way from Hawaii.
It’s really strong at night, in the colder months. Very cool to smell that.

Yep.
My wife wanted Halloween decorations for a monthly pot-luck thing she does with some other women. I couldn’t find anything… but there were 2 aisles in Walmart already dedicated for Christmas.
