Happy Autumn

[Brad Bowers]

Tonight is the Autumnal Equinox, at 10:03 p.m. MDT, and we thought we'd celebrate this last day of summer sunshine and the start of Fall with this... lol

Taken this morning at 7:30 a.m.

Are we surprised? No, as our Goldfinches have been telling us to get ready for this since July.

And I thought our winters were long. :eusa_doh:

Well, summer is coming to an end. I hate to see it go. But on the positive side, the temperature has been staying cool enough to wear my fur felts consistently.

UGh, nothing like skipping my favorite season fall and going right into winter! Is it typical to have snow this early in your area. Aaron, I thought the winters here were long too, and up in North Conway, you cool down much faster than here in Boston!
Utah certainly is beautiful, but I don't know about that weather

I'm really looking forward to autumn. It may begin in some places this weekend, but in southeastern Louisiana we will not see for another month. Today the low is 78, with high in the mid to upper 80's all weekend.

Thanks for the Autumn note. It was 50 degrees here in Fort Collins this AM, and the mountain towns got up to 8" of snow last night. Some Colorado ski areas are now making show with the goal of opening in mid-October.

Here in New England, we were in the fourties this morning. So strange considering it was in the 80's only two days ago. We have really wacky weather here too.

Happy Autumn (Fall! It's fall, dagnabbit!) everyone!

It's finally here and I for one am happy to see the begining of my favorite season. I can finally break out the wool suit and tweed jacket and go shopping for an overcoat. Hurrah for fall! Also, it's my birthday later this month. As a child that always meant black frosted birthday cakes with skeleton and pumpkin decorations. Glad I wasn't born on Easter.

Indian Summer

When I was a child, leaves could be legally burned along street
curbs, huge crimson leaf piles set afire after an afternoon spent
raking and doing other chores while a radio somewhere broadcast
a college football game--Sundays were reserved for Church and family
events or relaxing. Cannot burn leaves now, of course, but autumn
does bring back fall memories of childhood. I still prefer college football
radio to televised games. Chicago is enjoying Indian Summer, but I
can start wearing an A2 flight jacket again, and Notre Dame is 3-1.

Today it was 95 here in Dallas. :rage:

Why is it that the season of Autumn is called "Fall" in the States and not just Autumn?

If you heard "in the Autumn", instead of "in the Fall" would that not make any sense, or would it just be an unusual way of saying it?

Just wondering.

In my world, the two are interchangeable.

 

[Twitch]

Can we still call it Indian Summer or does that offend somebody?lol

Happy late Autumn!

Up here, at 8500ft, we have had two snows and the last two weeks the area has been flooded with tourists looking at fall colors. I think the altitude has an effect on their brain cells. Common sense is greatly diminished.
