The official first day of fall on the calendar has little significance down here in the south. That day is just as hot and humid as any other, and so is the day after that…and the day after that…and after that…
I worked in the yard on Saturday, and it was a sweaty, muggy day. Have I mentioned that I am waaaaay over hot and humid days? I was relieved to head inside for a cold drink and an even colder shower.
Sunday morning, however, was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I sat on the back deck, rocking gently on our glider, inhaling the scent of flowers by the deck and enjoying the cool air. I adore that first chilly day, the long-awaited dip in temperature, the sign that fall is, indeed, finally on the way.
The day went by so quickly. My older stepdaughter was home, and we spent some time with my older stepson, too. I had some errands I probably should have gotten done, but I shoved my to-do list aside and focused on them instead. My husband was revved up, teasing and picking on everyone, laughing at his own jokes (not that that is anything new, really!) It was just a fun, peaceful day.
It was wonderful, getting to break out a long-sleeve top for work this morning. Makes me want to go shopping, since 99% of my wardrobe is for days hovering in the 90s or higher (yuck!)
Happy (finally) official fall season in the south! It’s about damn time!

It’s been fall here for awhile, but it’s been really nice, with highs in the 50s to 60s. Many years it’s colder and snowing this time of year, so I feel fortunate.

We have been in fall here for awhile too, but the mornings are getting much colder and so winter is on the horizon. We have a pretty mild winter here in Vancouver, but there is definitely a change of each season. Wishing you a happy fall with no humidity!
