Title: You KNOW it's fall when...
Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on October 05, 2006, 10:16:11 AM
You know it's fall when you go into a local grocery store/corner shop and find in the refrigerated section Apple Cider. Holy crap I love this time of year so freaking much!

I'm about to explode with appropiateness as I get over the rather hefty price of cider and down gallon after gallon of it for the next 6-9 months. That's right. Cider is so popular around here, it even last through winter, and possibly into spring.

So, add what you think makes fall fall.

It gets colder, and I like cold.

Also, it the time of year when all my comfort foods just seem to taste better--cookies, hot chocolate, stews, soups, and the like.

When the colors turn, it is really pretty around these parts. Especially when the leaves cover the ground too.

When I'm both leaving for and returning from work in the dark. Which really really sucks.

Also, when it's no longer feasible (to my consternation) to go about in shorts and sandals.

Also, when going for a walk to get a cold smoothy and walk home slurping it no longer sounds like an appealing past time

also, when I have to stop mowing and start raking the stupid yard.

also, when I start getting Seasonal Affective Disorder and become even less motivated to do my work.

thank heaven I don't live in New England.

Autumn is my favorite season, because you get the same cool, temperate weather as spring but without a summer's worth of yard work hanging over your head.

when any form of clouds at all begin to finally cover up some of the monotonous blue here in SB, unfortunately there will be not a drop of rain until late winter...and of course never any snow...so sad...seriously I love rain and it only happens in december and january here.

Dude! I love pomegranates! They should be fed to me through a straw if I ever turn into a vegtable, and should be eaten by everyone, every single day.

Apparently, in step with this post, Fall has decided that it will concede the months of October and November to Winter.

Currently the snow falls quickly upon the city of Buffalo, and most likely the rest of Western New York. It had started, most likely, around 1 pm today. As I was headed to the Chinese food place for lunch, it was snowing somewhat freely.

When I had returned home, the snow began to form into larger clumps of flakes, and was then falling (as I said above) quickly and rather obstensively.

Perhaps Fall will make a brief comeback and it will reach into the 60 degrees sometime this month again. However, currently under 32 degrees marks the coming of Winter in Buffalo. And by my watch, that usually means it's here to stay.

hah! Not more than 20 minutes after I had posted about the coming of Winter had the clouds decided it was angry and released the most volumenious roar that I had heard from it in a while. It then proceeded to dump the rest of its contents upon this city.

Hhahaha! I love the scizto weather around here!

...you go to your folks house and mom's been doing the holiday baking.  Nothing's better than the smell of zucchini bread baking.
