Autumnal Thoughts........

[GHT]

⇧ Well, as an American who has never been to England, I still feel a great kinship to England. No England, no America.

Save your pennies, the offer to escort around London is still on. And we can put you wise on such things as: Stonehenge, York Minster and other cultural centres. Scotland's fine cities and the rugged beauty of The Highlands. The legacy of the industrial revolution, like Iron Bridge, the canal system, restored industrial buildings. The magnificence of the city of Bath. Come and enjoy, furthermore, if you think you may have ancestry from our Islands, we have amazing records detailing such things. You never know, you might be royalty, born on the wrong side of the bed sheet, ten times removed, Your Majesty.

A very generous offer - thank you. I'd love to see everything you listed plus Bletchley Park and Churchill's war bunker (I read too much WWII history). Also, my girlfriend is from the Clan MacDonald - I on the other hand and from the Mutts O' America - but really want to see Scotland. Hopefully, they'll be a time in our lives when time and money allow. Right now, our aging parents require both and that's how it should be - we feel lucky that we can help (sincerely, we think about what if we couldn't - not pretty).

4:21pm local time today. The start of Fall.

I suddenly want to go to one of those odd fly-by-night Halloween stores.

I think we were down to 80F at that time! Ah Autumn!

Halloween is a favourite of mine too, I can wear one of the best shirts ever.

All the Halloween candy has shown up in the stores except for the Russell Stovers orange marshmallow pumpkins - this cannot stand. That's how I kick off the Halloween candy season - with an orange marshmallow pumpkin. Where is Corporate America's much vaunted greed when you need it - there's a sale they are missing, that's not supposed to happen.

Same here, I think it was around 75F as well at 4:21pm. Good start to Autumn !

As a kid I liked Halloween because at the department store candy counters you could get a bag of jellybeans that were all orange and licorice. These were the only flavors I really liked. I still do but the candy counters are gone. Drat.

The lovely feeling when even the flowers get in on the fall colors:

Sure feels like Autumn is here today. Nice temperatures, but it only reminds me that blasted winter is just around the corner....

 

[Inkstainedwretch]

I just turned on the heat, put on a long-sleeved shirt and changed from sandals to shoes and socks. Fall is officially here.

Turned on the heat!!?? Ugh. Winter is here. [emoji14]

Nowhere near autumn here today. Temps topped out at 105°F, and our aging air conditioner has been running for the last three to four hours just to keep it below 80°F inside.

Better than freezing your tuchus off

It's definitely a Fall day. Cloudy, grey, cool, and leaves just about everywhere.

Your sig line makes me happy.

It's time:

Perfect, not for every day, but definitely need some of those day to clearly announce the arrival of fall.

I swear the foliage here has changed since this morning.

I don't mind it-- the leaves blend in nicely with the dead brown drought-ridden grass.
