Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Autumn will be here soon....

(for those in the Northern Hemisphere, that is)

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.

I can't wait!!!

Leaves turning, Holidays a-coming, chic fall fashions!!!!!

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!

Ah, fall. And TD hits 1000 posts. How do you combine the two? Like this:

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"?

Me and TD curled up on a blanket because I love you!!!!!!

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 .....

Matthew.

As long as we can follow them up with C. C. Ice Cream on Waffles! I've gained five pounds since you posted that receipe.

The internet is a wide and wonderful place isn't it?

Soon, sentients, soon....

'Tis already in the air... the most beautiful time of year is at hand!

Autumn is my favorite time of year!

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.

Sweatpants! Flannel pillowcases!

To heck with the darling buds of May.

College football! Fire places! Good television! Kids all hyped up with hormones raging!

Yay September!

Well, we've had a few nights when it's dropped below 70F and a few days when it hasn't broken 90F. We don't really get anything resembling autumn in Houston till about November.

It's been nice and mild up here.

There have been a handful of trees starting to change colors as early as mid-August, but now it's really starting to be noticeable.

And here we are again, sentients.

That's pretty much the same situation as Southeast Florida.

Two months to go...they can't go by soon enough.

We're getting the Autumn Alert sooner this year. Is something happening?

I've really noticed the colder temperatures at morning and night. It's actually quite sunny here (for a change) but there is a bit of a chill in the air. I've also noticed that it is getting dark earlier now. Yesteray it was dark from just after eight o'clock...I've no idea what time it gets light, in the morning though, I'm never awake that early.

The birds are starting to flock around here. It was a small flock, maybe 200 or so, but there they were.

Or it could be that they're returning after some majorly sucky weather we've had around here. (After the storms passed we noticed there were almost no birds around for a couple of weeks.)

Nights are definitely cooler, though.

Well, summer has been absolutely rubbish here - I doubt that we've had half a dozen days over 20°C. Rain almost every day, to varying extents.
So, I'm hoping for an Indian summer this autumn. But there's no sign of it yet .....
