No no no no no nonononononononononononono.
No
No.
I love summer. Heat and humidity, love it. Swimming every evening, love it. Long days and tan lines. Love everything about it.
Fall means winter is coming. Eff that.

Fall is my favorite season too. It won't start really cooling off until the first part of November so I still have a while to wait.  |

I love fall, but I'm not ready to see this summer end yet. Here in northern NJ we had an exceptionally wonderful summer. Only four days in the low 90's. No heat waves and tolerable humidity. It was a perfect summer for us.
They are predicting a colder than normal winter and more than usual precipitation, which with the cold they say will be snow and ice. Keeping my fingers crossed they are wrong after the rough winter had last year.

I am looking forward to some aspects of fall. I love the food, the decor, & the colours. Definitely excited about new fall shows and returning favourites, as well as the start of the NHL season in October. Hockey is all that matters to me, sports-wise. I hate the weather, though. I want it to stay hot.
It's also a bummer that our teachers are on strike and the government will probably let it drag on until October.

I love Fall too but this has been such an enjoyable and productive summer, I could use one more month! I do love the colors of Fall and the Fall decor, and of course all of the crock pot meals!

I love Fall but thanks to Bertha we've had cooler weather for the last two weeks and I hate it. It's much too early for cooler temperatures. It's the coldest August in 90 years!

I love Autumn. It's my favourite season. The leaves are just beginning to fall and the garden is calming down a bit. I love the vague anticipation of Christmas, the Stampin Up winter catalogue arriving and me spending a ridiculous amount of money on gorgeous stuff. I love the rush of making cards and advent calendars, and items for a couple of swaps that I enter. Most of all, I love the cooler evenings for running. Heavenly.

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!  This cold spell has come far too early - it's still August for goodness sake!  Autumn's my favourite season as well, but it shouldn't arrive before September is well under way! I like getting out the winter clothes (unlike gar  ), the 'coziness' of the nights drawing in (unlike gar ) and the ability to sleep at night without waking up all hot and uncomfortable three or four times before sunrise --- however, I completely agree with gar about days and days and days of rain or drizzle.   |

Speaking of early autumn - are there any Peas from Wyoming or Montana around? Just reading about the cool weather in the paper this morning: "Wyoming and Montana will get an early taste of fall this year as an unseasonably cool low pressure system puts a chill in the air around the northern Rockies. That will put temperatures at 35 degrees below average in some places over the weekend while Glacier National Park may not even get to a 50 degree high." That doesn't sound pleasant - is the report accurate (or do I take it with the same liberal pinch of salt I do for our local weather forecast?!!  ) ? |

I look like a great, rotund beach ball with stumpy legs poking out! And you don't even want to imagine the effect if I have the hood up and drawn in! I feel for you not being able to wear wool, that's a shame.  |

Sam - I know what you mean - those padded coats are great but not exactly streamlined  My girls laugh at me because I wear a vest from September to May but I don't care  Well although it's a bit cooler this morning it's lovely and sunny now and as it's apparently going to be pretty sodden all day tomorrow I suppose I should be grateful!

Sunny and mild here at the moment too! Am going to try to get in some gardening jobs today to take advantage of it. Tomorrow we seem to be heading for about 15°c but cloudy so hopefully we aren't going to get a wash out of a Bank Holiday this time! Will be trying very hard to keep my hands off my padded, down to the knees coat for as long as possible - on this coast I could be wearing it until June!! |

I adore pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin cake and cookies. I'm making some soft pumpkin sugar cookies later today using this recipe. Do you like fall, too? Wowzers, those cookies look GOOD!!!!! I am definitely going to try that recipe. We have a store here called USA Foods, I'm going to have to make a trip there because you can't get canned pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie spice here in our grocery stores. We mainly use pumpkin in savory dishes. Down here in the Southern Hemisphere I am looking forward to spring arriving in one week. Because that means summer is only 3 months away. YAY! Autumn is usually a bit depressing for me because it means summer is 9 months away. Can you tell I love summer??? |

No! I hate that summer is winding down, hate the evenings getting shorter, hate winter clothes, hate feeling cold so much, hate the inevitable long months of grey rainy days.....not at all looking forward to it.....at.all Word. For. Word. Maybe you should plan a trip here for, say January or February! |

I love autumn!! My favorite season, with winter coming a close second. But it started too early this year, August is supposed to be a summer month! Instead I'm already wearing gloves and a scarf in the morning when I'm taking DD to school.

My favorite seasons are spring and fall. I have to admit though, I'm not as excited for fall as I usually am. Our summer has been almost perfect, imo. It hasn't been too hot or too humid; the kids have been able to be outdoors a lot and it's been fun. I'm not quite ready for that to end. I am looking forward to the crisper air and all the pumpkin goodness fall has to offer, though! |

Oh hell yes, I can't wait for fall. Temperature-wise, were at the hottest part of the year here (around 100F highs). But come the first of October, we'll start seeing some cooler nights, and by the end of October, there will be a few cool fronts to bring the daytime highs down into the comfort zone.
I bought a couple pumpkin spice candles yesterday and was burning them last night. Seeing all of the trappings of fall show up in stores just gets me excited and reminds me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and the heat/humidity won't last forever.

It's mild and sunny here as well - the bad news is that I've got so much to do inside the house, I haven't got any time to go OUTside! On the plus side, I found my suede gloves, so this will be the first time in about 3 years I haven't had to go and buy a pair when the weather turns colder! Oh, and for gar - I also have a pair of massive skiing gloves that I wear with that long padded coat when it's really cold - I forgot about that little addition to my ensemble earlier on! I must look like a right plonker waddling through town in that get-up! |

Love fall! Cooler days, changing leaves and college football. Here in the south, wonderful autumn weather often lasts until mid November.
Not a big fan of winter...but I'll be loving September-November.

Yes I am 100% ready for Fall. I don't do well in the heat and humidity and I am ready for jeans and crisp cool air. I have always loved living in WI because of the changing seasons. I am always ready for the next season to get here -- except I wouldn't mind if it was Fall weather all year round sometimes. My ideal temps are 50 - 60 degrees.

It feels like it's already Fall here. August has been 10-12 degrees cooler than normal. We've had days here that we were wearing hoodies and jeans...IN AUGUST!!! Our summer has been really crappy. July was ok, but not hot, we didn't reach 85 degrees once. I'm so not ready for the brutal winter. Screw global warming - I think we're hitting the ICE age v. 2.0!!! Apparently, the almanac says our winter here will be just as bad, or worse than last year's. It just got warm and now here we go again!   |
