Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I love fall. I love the crisp air, the slight chill, and the colors on the trees and bushes. I will say, this has been one of the milder summers in recent memory, it seems we didn't have that many days that hovered in the high 90s, but I still look forward to the fall. I hate the heat and can't wait. It seems to set in about the second week of September and I'm counting down the days. PEArfect, I know it's so hard to adjust to your new normal. Hugs to you and your girls.

Fall is my favorite season, so I'm always ready for summer to be over.

I'm so ready for Fall! I've spent the afternoon looking up pumpkin recipes on Pinterest. I heard today that Starbuck's pumpkin spice latte is coming out Monday (assuming you know the 'secret word'). That's always the first sign of fall for me the last couple year.

Yes for fall in south Florida! End to hurricane season, lower humidity and cool temps in the 80's. The only bad part is the invasion of the snowbirds, thousands upon thousands of retirees in their Buicks and Corollas clogging the roads and stores. Where I live it is almost a different place when all of our winter friends arrive. The definitions of fall is really different down here. Cooler is relative of course, but it does get cooler. There are trees that turn different colors, the humidity goes down...and for me, it is football season. I love college ball.

Absolutely not! It's a long winter here in upstate NY. Plus it's been kind of a cruddy summer. After the winter we had last year, I'll take 90 degree days (only had 4 this year) over the cold and snow anytime!

September and October are the hottest months of the year and prime conditions for nasty wildfires. No, I am NOT ready for it.

We have had an unseasonably cool summer here in northeast Louisiana as well. However, this week the heat & humidity have returned & I do not do well under these conditions. Eagerly awaiting fall, I love the cooler weather & being able to spend more time outdoors, having the windows open, burning fall candles & seeing the gorgeous fall colors.
I love fall!

I don't feel like I have had summer! On July 4th we were at a BBQ and we were all in hoodies...heaters on in car on the way home. We have had many days like that this "summer". I do love the fall though. The candle scents...the trees..and Halloween!!

Hell yeah - we've had heat advisories the past several days and it's just miserably hot and humid....I'm not a Summer weather fan on a good day and this hasn't been one. Unfortunately it'll be well into October at the earliest before I have any hope of Autumn weather

I was so looking foward to Summer this year, but here in Eastern Wa. We had a doozy of a summer! 2nd hottest July on record (we don 't have a/c so ugh!) and the beggining of August was hot too. We also had many many smokey days due to the central Wa. fires, which made it not very nice to set out by the pool or lake. So I am ready for the cooler weather, being able to use the oven and I judt bought 2 new fall tops today! I also get to see my son in October!!! He will be home from Tech School in the Airforce for a few days befoe going to his first duty station. I haven't seen him since June at Basic graduation, so I am one happy Momma!

No, not really although there's a definite Autumnal nip in the air at night now. I love Autumn but would like to see a few more weeks of Summer first - and then the kind of Autumn that is cooler but still sunny, and dry so the leaves on the trees can be seen at their best before we go into a cold, dark Winter!

I'm definitely ready for fall! It has been so hot and humid here. And rainy which makes it more muggy... ugh! I love fall and I love the decorations and my fall scented candles!

We don't get much of a fall here, but I'm definitely looking forward to slightly cooler temperatures.

Yes. This is my time of year. The only thing I don't like is shorter days. Its been cool enough here (the Northeast) that the leaves are already changing.

... And by the by, can someone tell me why you all decorate for autumn but not spring or summer....is it just all part of Halloween etc? In New England, there's a noticeable change in the temperatures, so we bring out the blankets and quilts and throws we had put away for summer. It's harvest time too for apples, squash, and root vegetables, so there's something of a "nesting instinct" that comes out in some of us. Since it's cooled down enough to start cooking again, the house smells great too. Even when there isn't the smell of food in the air, there's the smell of wood stoves and oak leaves in the neighborhood. Add to that the striking red, orange, and yellow of the maple trees, and we just have to decorate. It's not really about Halloween. It's just time to get cozy.

I'm still enjoying summer but ours are pretty mild in MN. I'm from the south originally though and I couldn't wait for summer to be over when I lived there. I love our beautiful fall in MN. It usually only lasts for a couple of months but I love it!

I love, love, love Fall!!! Can't wait. It's been pretty cool at times this Summer here in NH, but I love it. I was just checking out the pick dates at one of the local apple orchards. It's almost that time!

Around here fall doesn't come until just before Christmas, so it's hard to get too excited, but I always look forward to Halloween .

Yes, especially looking forward to it since we've moved to a new state. We have a lot of forest around so it should be gorgeous.
I'm done with the humidity also. It's been horrible lately.

Not really, but it's 6 months away so I've got plenty of time. I'm looking forward to blue sky, long days and getting the washing dry!
That said, all these cool things about Autumn (no pun intended) are making me think it wouldn't be so bad.

I'm a fall & winter girl. I was just telling my friend last week I'm ready for pumpkin type foods/drinks. Thanks for the link to the recipe. It will be one that I try soon

Our summer has been so mild that I wish I could slow it down and let it last a few more months. There is so much to do Sept.-Dec. that while I enjoy it, I wouldn't mind a bit more time before it hits. But alas, Sept. will arrive very shortly, so I better be ready for Fall to come not too far behind. I do love it, but after last winter, I'm not sure I'm ready for that again, so I'm in no rush to hurry the seasons along.
