There's a chill in the air, I smell apple cider outside, and the leaves

[TK421]

are falling everywhere. Could my favorite season be here at last?

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

1. My favorite season too!

Too bad we can't go from fall right to spring.

[TK421]

5. I take it you don't care for winter? That would be my second favorite

season :shrug:

[borlis]

10. I dont' mind snow and my kids love it, but

the past few winters are just cold without much snow. It's just tiresome. Last winter we had hardly any snow and it wasn't all that cold (a lot of upper 30's low 40's)but almost everytime it would snow, it would melt within a day or so. I wanted to take my kids skiing for the first time over last Christmas break and it was in the 40's.

2. I absolutely love Autumn!!

3. Good to see you again!

I'll be raking some leaves this weekend, but I don't mind-I love it :toast:

7. I used to live in PA, so I remember all those beautiful leaves that turn

soooo pretty! Happy raking! Have fun!! :toast:

This weekend, I'm riding 100 miles on my bike for a good cause!

I'm in Bristol Borough, right on the Delaware river.

12. Slippery Rock

my Dad taught at the college nearby. I was just a girl back then, don't even know the name of the college, sorry...

I have a sister who lives in Polk.

4. I have baked apple-raspberry crisp twice, already.

This is my favorite time of year to bake!

6. That sounds really good....now I'm drooling on my keyboard

8. I love Autumn... check out my current desktop image:

11. What an awesome image....about forty minutes north of where

I live there are lots of places just like that. I am definitely long overdue for a trip up there

13. Did somebody say "cider"?

There's the dodgy stuff available in supermarkets - famed for getting teenagers drunk...but then there's the real stuff which is delicious.

[TK421]

15. Hey TJ! I definitely mean the real stuff...I think someone has it on

their stove, but at any rate it smells lovely outside!

14. The leaves on the tree right outside my window

are turning.

I made applesauce last night, and gingerbread cookies this morning.

:bounce:

16. Feh.

All contemptible illusion, nothing more. Soon those same trees that now make such gaudy display will raise their stripped limbs against a dull leaden sky like damned souls making futile supplication to some callous and indifferent deity; whilst winds that cut like knives and shriek like banshees foreshadow worse, FAR worse, to come. So there. :evilgrin:

[TK421]

17. Yeah....but do you like it or not?

:think:

18. It's 89 degrees today, the trees are always green...

and the drinks are still made from sugar cane, not apples. South Florida -- utterly seasonless.
