Adios, summer … hola, fall …

• Posted in General musings

I occured to me this week looking at the calendar that Labor Day is Monday. Which means that summer is more or less over.

Who-hoo! :blos:

Summer is not my favorite time of year. Too much heat. Too much cut grass. Too many allergens in the air to make me sneeze. This year has been particularly brutal. We’ve had 20 straight days of 90-plus degree heat. That’s pretty hot for my neck of the woods. And it hasn’t rained in forever. Seriously, we’ almost 14 inches below normal. The grass is crunchy now.

Although, on the flip side, I’m glad we haven’t had some of the flooding and other problems that have plagued the rest of the U.S. It’s been a weird summer, as far as weather goes, all the way around.

Anyway, I am more than ready to say hello to fall. Cooler temperatures! New TV shows! Football! A chance of rain! Pumpkin-flavored desserts! :scooby:

What about you? What’s your favorite time of year? Inquiring minds want to know …

    Up here, summer is my favorite. Mainly because it is the only season where there is a 90% chance that it won’t snow. You can pretty much count on snow during the other three seasons. Bleh. Remind me again why I left the south.

    Amy — Um, so you could pursue your dream job and become a super librarian? :ww:

    Tia — Florida is nice to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Too much heat and humidity. I live having four distinct seasons! :cup:

    Mine has gotta be fall. I love that first morning when I can walk outside and smell fall. That’s my favorite day of the year.

    I’m so over this hot spell. I’m ready for it to be 70 degrees instead of 90+.

    I love fall weather but spring is my favorite because the days get longer and everything turns green. I love that.
