This Week...Autumn Arrives...Sort of

 

Autumn arrived on September 22.  At least, that’s what the calendar said. Houston had Beta hanging overhead leaving many streets flooded.

I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time. Robert Browning



That said, we still have daytime temperatures in the 80s but you’ll have no complaints from me. It’s better than the 100-degree temperatures we had this summer.

Autumn is the season to find contentment at home by paying attention to what we already have. Unknown



The beautiful sunflowers that we see on our morning walks are waving good-bye to us but I know they’ll be back next summer.

I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift. Dodinsky



We do have some leaves that will show off their beautiful oranges, yellows, and reds but nothing like what George Souto has in Connecticut. 

 

I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion.  Henry David Thoreau

What has been nice are the relatively cool mornings (ok-70ish) for our walks. I think that coolish weather puts everyone in a good mood. 




Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.  Delia Owens

Hello Kathy - I am not wishing for hurricanes but their arrival this year has me wondering if I will be able to remember the Greek alphabet.

Going to be a nice weekend and a warm dry week ahead. 80's. Glad no 100's.  Love the quotes. Have a great weekend.

Kathy, still not "fall" temps until tomorrow.  We had upper 80's and into the 90's today too.  Hope the flooding did not affect you.

Love, love this time of the year. We have one more day of rain, and then a stretch of summer returns with highs in the mid-80's. We'll take it!

Brian England it's pleasant enough to sit outside this afternoon but I'm too busy watching college football. 

Wayne Martin Does fall move quickly to winter in Chicago??

Barbara Todaro it's much nicker now on our morning walks.

Hi Kathy:

Seems as though for some Fall came in like March does..."like a lion." It's hard to believe Fall is here already.

It does always feel like June or July now these days and it’s really starting to really hit me over the head with it, if you know what I mean.

WE just returned home from a 2 week camping trip to up state NY...we had cool fall weather there and then returned home to summer temps. We plan on visiting northern Maine next...returning to fall temps again. LOL

I'm really enjoying all the color we have right now...my favorite time of the year!
