Shall we light a fire in fireplace and gather 'round to read old comics and sip Frothy Chocohots?
Sounds good to me!
Actually I think Autumn has already hit here in the South West UK. This morning was quite dark when I woke up for work and on top of that we had to stick the heating on for the first time in months last night 'cause there was a bit of a chill in the air...I don't mind too much though as I'm of on holiday to Greece next week!

First day of official autumn is September 23 - when Scott & Caroline move into their new digs. We definitely should all take the day off for intensive comics-reading and chocolate consumption.

Gosh, don't you just LOVE that little charge in the air early in the morning these days. It's like the weather is gently telling us what is to come. I love fall. Leaves turning all colors, chilly mornings and evenings yet warm and breezy afternoons, sloppy rainstorms in which you cook chili and look out the window, long walks kicking up leaves, college football Saturdays...
Yup, I've missed this time of year. I'm glad it's back. I'm also glad that at this time next year, I'll be able to TOTALLY appreciate the fall, as I'll be starting back to school for my graduate degree. YAY!

Fall's a great season. Leaves look lovely, pansies take over the nurseries (and my garden if I ever get off my butt), and the crisp weather is good for snuggling in the evening and the morning.
And it's a good time to change my signature.

S. Seymour, that's a clever and comforting sign-off you've adopted. I'm a prize piddler-away of summer days.
And LL, do you make those things up or is there a source for "Funny and Appropriate On-line Images for Every Occasion"?

i remember when i was younger and i first heard that in America .... Autumn was refered to as the Fall !!!
and i really liked it !!! i thought the analogy to the falling autumn leaves was really nice !!!
and i guess it's pretty much the autumn here in Manchester, it's been a lot colder these last few days and it's rained a lot too !!! we've even had the heating on a couple times in the evening .....

In CT, its really gorgeous and I can't wait for the chilling of the whether and that 'back to school excited feeling' that I still get to set in when I go out on the weekends. And reading comics on a brisk Sunday morning with a hot cup of coffee is a pasttime I've enjoyed since I was a wee pre-teen lad.
