Autumn
 

I love the milder temperatures in Texas these days.
I can actually get out of my office and take walks during the day without melting.


:dance2:

Cool gloomy rainy days where you just roll over and go back to sleep!

The changing colors, the cooler weather, but a really sunny warm day now and then, making chili, enjoying the wine harvest, wearing jeans again, planning for the holidays, baking more, getting out the flannel nightgowns, bonfires, and fresh apples!

The cooler temperatures, are so nice. I love the chill in the evening air, sipping tea while in my pj's, snuggling up below my duvet, the leaves changing colors, baking all my apple and pumpkin recipes, wearing my favorite sweaters again, sleeping in a cool bedroom (I don't sleep well in the heat).

Fall festivals, pumpkin recipes and leaves changing (but i hate the cold)

The smell of leaves that have fallen to the ground, cooler weather, pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie, and sweaters, these are just a few of my favorite things about Autumn.

Pumpkin muffins and switching to hot chai. Colored leaves that fall on the ground and crunch under my feet.

When I was a kid growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we had something similar to caramel apples, but the coating was dark red, tasted delicious, and of course had the crush peanut coating. Anyone else have these?

Those are candy apples. I always get one at the fair.

this morning windy and cool..getting ready to go out and rake my very favorite autumn leaf-maple..i will love working under a maple leaf canopy but a sad too..the leaves are beginning to fall which means :woodchop: very soon!

granola in oven, what's next?
 

I love Autumn but hate the raking. It's my least favorite yard job. I need a backpack blower! I would enjoy that.

Today it is almost 80 degrees, leaves are falling and everything is perfect!

The leaves are almost gone..just a few left. It always makes me a little sad to say a last goodbye to the last leaf I see fall.

Wrangler rake or blow them into your garden plot. It makes a lovely mulch that keeps out weeds during early spring breakout.

It used to be cooler temperatures.

Now it is "Mr. C.H. Noshoulders" goes into hiberation. YAY!


C = Copper


H= Head


Same about Mr. R. Noshoulders too!

I just don't even know what to say to this. :|

You do realize the late Lewis Grizzard was right when he stated there is only one kind of snake? The dreaded copper-headed water rattler. I guarantee you if I saw a snake the run would be long (and fast). Sort of a sprint-marathon.

After snake: :fastcycling:

Katiniss...too funny...there's not much water around here, but will keep it
in mind when I move to a place where there is water...no, we just have
the garden variety desert rattler...which frankly no one wants to meet
either...smiling...Greco

it's almost time for-http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2446/4...bd2f1e0f1c.jpg

Yet another reason running isn't good for you. In southern California, it's cougars.

big cats
 

Femmewench, I'll certainly remember that when I visit San Diego...thought these big cats were found only in Northern California? Well, thanks for the warning though think San D may be too crowded for them. Like your sense of humor!
