September 29, 200619 yr As Fall starts to take its effect and the mornings get cooler, the days get shorter, and the leaves begin to slowly change color, it's that time. What time, you ask? Well, it's when having a nice hot cup of cappuccino in the morning really helps take in the cooler temperatures. When sitting on the porch in the evening now requires more than just pants and a long sleeve shirt. When you enjoy the mid day as much as you can before its too short to notice. When you start to make sure to keep freshly charged batteries in your camera in case you across a beautiful shot. When... you no longer have to deal with Summer's heat and humidity. It's just that time again. Time to enjoy the next season of this year. So here's to Fall, 2006. Cheers. *sips his cappuccino* Ahh...
September 29, 200619 yr Glad somebody likes fall. If I had my choice, it would constantly be August. The temperature is usually nice here, and the sun is up for long enough. It's really tough to get in a good mountain bike in the fall when the sun sets at 7. By the time I get home from work and get out on the trails I'm fighting with fading light. I feel like a putz joining the gym when it's still this warm out, but I think I'm going to have to, or I'm not going to exercise for awhile.

September 29, 200619 yr It was 40 f'n degrees outside last night and like an idiot, I didn't turn my heat on so it was a very cold 60 in the house this morning.
September 29, 200619 yr There's nothing like a New England Autumn The colors are so vibrant, the air is crisp and refreshing, and let's not forget the seasonal Apple donuts at the loacal orchard!
September 29, 200619 yr Yea...that definitely classifies as "weather" and we don't have much of that here...
September 29, 200619 yr Fall and winter can go take a hike. My thinking, exactly . Tho, I do admit that it is always cool to see the fall colors....at least, when the sun is shining.....

I wish they would change daylight savings time - instead of shifting ahead an hour in the summer only, I wish they would shift the whole day ahead 2 hours all year. Who cares if it's dark in the winter when you're getting ready for work? All I care is that there's sun when I get home....
September 30, 200619 yr razor: agreed. The change of seasons is always something to look forward to. Every one has its good points.
September 30, 200619 yr Fall gets tiring if we get too much rain and.............MUD ! Winter gets tiring by the end of Feb, but that makes those great March and April days, oh, so sweet Spring gets tiring if we get too much rain, grey days and that cold damp never ending........gray, we've had a few springs like that in the NE the past 5 years, 50's damp and grey forever. Summer gets tiring when we get those heat waves. 90's = The end of August is alway sad for me, it still brings back the memorys of summer vacation gone and school begining but by the end of September I become humbled like BV description. Just starting our first fire now, in fact...............
September 30, 200619 yr I Love winter Fall and Winter. I love waking up in your bed and the temp is like 38ºF in your house. I love cold. I just hate defrosting your windows in your car. especially if you have a caprice at idle the engine never warms up. you have to rev it to get the heater blowing some luke warm air.
September 30, 200619 yr waking up in your bed and the temp is like 38ºF in your house 199380[/snapback] Only in SCS...
September 30, 200619 yr Only in SCS... 199389[/snapback] You wouldn't uderstand Lake Effect :AH-HA_wink:
September 30, 200619 yr I LOVE fall/winter. Best clothes, food, holidays, weather and atmosphere of the year. I love using all of the sheets/blankets at night. Seeing the leaves change and raking them. Decorating the house for Halloween and Christmas. Saying "Merry Christmas" to all the PC whores. Definately my favorite time of year.
October 1, 200619 yr I agree about the colours - it's ironic, because fall is one of the most beautiful times to bike...or drive .Which is why I'm hoping to get a "fall tour" set up around here to go cruising to see some of the fall colors in a month or so......
October 1, 200619 yr I just ate ice cream. Twice. It's 50* here right now. 199240[/snapback] Haha, a bunch of the marching band ate ice cream from a gallon tub friday night at the football game. It was 39 degrees out. Cold weather is no match for marching band! We will eat ice cream when we want, even if everyone thinks we've lost our minds
October 1, 200619 yr I love the way you put it BV, nice take on the change. I too say Ahhh. I love Autumn.
October 7, 200619 yr I enjoy autumn too, until DST ends or so.. about the same time the heat has to be turned on at night.
October 8, 200619 yr Author Do you have a recent roof on the house? Nice pics. 202362[/snapback] Yeah, its sorta new, as In half of it is, half of it is replacement, and half is built over.
October 8, 200619 yr BV...I just noticed that just about EVERY SINGLE one of your recent posts has the tongue sticking out smilie in them. Why? The post above doesn't even make sense to have it?
October 9, 200619 yr Author BV...I just noticed that just about EVERY SINGLE one of your recent posts has the tongue sticking out smilie in them. Why? The post above doesn't even make sense to have it? 202638[/snapback] Yep. Either it or the big grin one. I love my smilies. If a post of mine in the lounge doesnt have one, I was most likely pissed while I posted it. Not always, but you get the point. Me and smilies are like PB and J. One without the other just seems weird.
October 10, 200619 yr I love fall too! On Sunday my boyfriend and I took a walk around the National mall from one end of the Smithsonian museums up towards the Capitol. Just a perfect day. Plus fall marks the return of my favorite drink......Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.
October 10, 200619 yr Not only a nice opening post, BV, but it's very nice to see you in a generally happy & pleasant mood vs. a year ago. Quite the 180. Kudos to you, sir.
