Fall is in the air . . . or is it? Here in southwest Louisiana, it depends on the week. Last week, we reveled in a reprieve from the heat. This week, we're back to summer.
I wrote a post a couple years ago about missing autumn in the northeast. (Read it here.) I still do miss it, but I've grown to appreciate fall in this part of the world. October is one of my favorite months. I think we in the south might be more grateful for the cooler temperatures (I'm talking 60s and 70s here, folks), after living through the oppressive heat of summer. I relish these weeks, even a month or two, when the AC is mostly off and before the cement slab beneath my house has turned into a chill radiator.
Wherever you live, I hope you bask in the season. Please leave a comment and tell me how you savor autumn.

I do savor autumn. Chilly nights, warm days, beautiful leaves, and pumpkin. Mmmm!
ReplyDeleteI bought pumpkin flavored frozen waffles at Sam's Club this week.
ReplyDeleteHi, Angie. Fall in Louisiana is special. I, too, love October. However, I just got back from Minnesota, where I got a big helping of what Fall is like in the rest of the country--upper 20s at night, 40s-50s during the day, low humidity. Less satisfied with the Louisiana version now. :)
ReplyDeleteJan, that sounds cold!
