First day of Autumn


Today is the first day of fall. It rained here yesterday and the temperature lowered. I actually slept, for the first time in months, under a blanket.

How's the first day of fall for you?

Warm Fall

All that lovely cool weather went away and it warmed up again. Temps in the high eighties with one day this week that's be 90.

It looks like we're having a warm fall after all.

Autumn whine



Where's Autumn?

It's suppose to be fall, right? But today we had temps of over a hundred, and it'll be around a hundred for the next week.

Hot, hot, hot! And my hot flashes are going nuts!

When will the cool get here?

Thursday's Thirteen: October's to do list

Since its October first or nearly at this posting, here are thirteen things for October in no particular order.

I would have posted some photos but my internet service is acting funny.



1. Setting out the autumn decorations.



2. Getting out and decorating for Halloween. It’s not the same decorations as the autumn ones.



3. Raking fall leaves. I really hate this chore. We have sycamore trees, they have big leaves. Lots and lots of them.



4. Dusting the house and getting it ready, so I can shut all the windows for the cold season.



5. Picking out a pumpkin. I don’t do this quite so much now that my daughter is older.



6. Pulling out the spent spring flowers and planting fall bulbs or more mums.



7. Cleaning out my planters and planting some fall flowers.



8. Putting away all the shorts and summer clothes. Then digging out of the back of my closet for my long sleeve blouses and long pants. Cool weather clothes, oh how I miss thee.



9. Costume making time. My daughter has taken over this chore. She’s too old for trick-or-treating, but there’s an Ani-jam on Halloween that’s she’ll be attending. She won third place in the last one for her costume she had made.



10. Buying Halloween candy. We don’t get trick-or-treaters, we live too far out of town but I buy them for my small family. We like candy. :)



11. This year it’s on us for my daughter’s senior year school picture. It all has to be done by October 15th.



12. Get sign up for the Nanowritmo (National Novel Writer’s Month). It’s always a crazy month for me, but for the last three years I have finished in time with a 50,000 word novel.



13. Celebrate my hubby’s Birthday. His B-day is on the 29th.

Fall

It Fall! One of our fall leaves we'll have to rake up.
The good news raking uses up a lot of calories.


Its the official first day of Autumn.









But you can't go by us here in sunny California it was a hundred degrees today. Hot, hot and will be hot again tomorrow.








According to the forecasts we will have more fall like weather next week, with temps in the eightiesAt Lest I still have some color in my garden.
