It's Fall Y'all! Now Bite Me!!!

It's fall y'all, and what could be better? Cool days, crisp nights, cider warming on the stove, pumpkins and gourds galore.

One of my very favorite parts of autumn is the spectacular color changes of the leaves.

And how about lighting that first roaring fire, sitting snuggled up on the couch with a hot cup of tea, or in my case, coffee?



Ah, the smell of wood burning, listening to the fire crackle and watching it dance. What could be better?

Oh how I love fall!


Wait. I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Something that may be important here...





Well holy crap, I just figured it out.




I live in Florida and don't get fall!

No turning leaves for me. No crisp cool nights either. I'll be lucky if I can turn off the a/c by mid-October. As I sit here, the temp on my lanai is 91.2 degrees. In the shade.

Wanna see what my 5-day forecast looks like for this week? Well, here ya go.

Now don't you dare give me that, "Ooh, you are so lucky! I wish we still had summer weather here!" Ptooey!!!!

While all of you are sitting on your front porches, soaking up the gentle sunlight, sipping your hot drink of choice and gazing at those beautiful fall leaves, I? Will be sitting here on my lanai, melting into my chair under the sweltering sun, a fan blasting hot air on me, while gazing at the green leaves. I will also be cursing each and every one of you. Under my breath, of course. And with love, of course.

Pssst! If you love me, you might love my sister more. Go visit her at Jill's Believe it or Not, and tell her I sent you!
