My favorite time of year!

Well, it's almost here. Soon the leaves will be turning and a bit of crispness will fill the air. Mmmm! What I really love are those evenings with a southern breeze in late October/early November that are much warmer than they should be. Year before last my husband and I decided to roll around in the leaf pile like a couple of kids, of course it ended in sex! I hope we have another of those romantic evenings this year in the leaf pile!

I need about 10 degrees off the thermometer to sleep with the windows open. That always spawns late-night creativity.

 

[dirtycarol]

Try it in a leaf pile some night!

Although I like the weather, I have to disagree. It's a time of great existential angst for me. The fading light makes me realize all the things I didn't get done this summer, which then takes me down the path of confronting my mortality. Depressing as fuck, really.

Spring is much, much better.

Thank God, Autumn!

The weather is changing back to a comfortable level...

Envious! I do love the smells of autumn, especially if someone would be so kind as to rake my leaves! Wood burning stoves and early evenings in can be quite fun with a willing partner!

Though I enjoy Autumn, it is ruined by the thought of Winter coming. For me, I love hay season. I love the smell of hay drying in the field before it's baled. I'm wierd, I'm fine with it.

I live in Florida. We have two seasons. Hot. And fucking hot.

No, we have four seasons - hot, fucking hot, hurricane season, and snowbird (tourist) season.

 

[Lord Pmann]

No, we have four seasons - hot, fucking hot, hurricane season, and snowbird (tourist) season.

Hurricane season is also fucking hot season. Tourist season is year round. And snowbirds... god I hate those rude northerners that come here. The worst are the old crabs from Pennsylvania that come down here.

No, no, no, no. Hurricane season is fucking hot with a little wind and a little rain - and a lot of booze.

My issue with snowbirds is traffic. If you're gonna come down here for 6 months, at least learn to drive like the locals! Be as rude as shit; I'll ignore your rude ass. But cut me off in traffic with a half inch to spare, and we're going to have issues!

Oh, the other snowbird issue - restaurants. Ugh. It's an exercise in futility to try to go to a restaurant during snowbird season.

If you don't go to dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon, you'd be fine.

HAHAHA! We must have some wild snowbirds. They go to dinner as late as 7-8 pm! Now, that's living on the edge!

We were able to start sleeping with the windows open this week, and it was wonderful.

 

[xBuxombabex]

I was a bit confused then I realised you all have air-con don't you? It's not hot enough here often enough to warrent air-con so when it's really hot we have the windows open!

I'm looking forward to Autumn as it means I can get my winter wardrobe out - all my sexiest clothes are winter clothes!

As for the leaf pile - I'm way too scared of spiders to roll around in leaves!

I am definitely a long days, warm weather person. I got gyped out of a warm season when I moved from WA to the US in September. I went straight from winter to autumn. I should have waited six months and doubled up on summers.

Edit:
That was a lot of years ago. Should have clarified.

It's my favourite time of the year also, but it's the second day of Spring in my part of the world. The sky has turned from grey to blue, the leaves are coming back to the trees... the smell of freshly cut grass is in the air.

Everything seems better in Spring.
