Haha, well I'm putting out my fake pumpkins and wreath today even if it's sunny and we are going to get a heat wave!

According to last night's weather broadcast we were within 4 degrees of setting a heat record yesterday. Today is supposed to be about the same. In the middle of next week we are supposed to drop to about 10 degrees below normal but that's still short sleeve short weather if you wait a bit to go outside.
With the wet (for us) summer we had I'm looking forward to the fall colors. They are supposed to be nice. I also enjoy the fall. Eventually we get a break from the heat and humidity, it's really pleasant to be outside. And it's not so bitter cold we have to worry about ice, snow, and wind chill.

Painters came from all over the world to paint the Hudson valley in the fall in 1800s. Their paintings go for big money today.

That's a big job. What color did they paint it?

Me too...my favorite season! Never lasts long enough, though.
I LOVE your sense of humor...it's exactly like mine. That was the very first thought that ran through my head too.

Another person here who's favorite season is fall. That's why I got married in October.

I don't know.
Yes, all the views of the seasons can be very pleasant ... when you can see them!
I like how the angle of the sun gets so low at midday that the sunlight glistens off the blades of grass as one walks south. But, there has to be light, not to mention blades of grass. Oh, I take that back - midday sunlight can be very beautiful reflected off of snow.
Darkness. What can anyone say about the dark? I mean, darkness without a full moon or the bouncing flashlight as someone walks towards you on a path. Maybe if I had better hearing it wouldn't seem so ... devoid of detail.
I don't require 24 hours of daily sunlight! I mean, my eyes are closed and I'm asleep some of the time. Ya know, barely conscious, generally unaware of my surroundings. Like ... "in the dark." Come to think of it, I sleep quite well during daylight ...
The opposite season: spring-like conditions are sometimes aggravating because there is this desire to be out-of-doors and the weather often doesn't cooperate. Of course, that's why we have window glass.
