Celebration Weekend Recap
It's Monday again. How do they keep coming faster? Did you get a lot done this weekend or spend it getting into mischief? We started off the weekend right with a Friday night viewing of Spaceballs to honor the newly released news of Spaceballs 2 . It was kind of funny because all I could hear during the movie were the times my dad laughed at certain parts when we went to see it in theaters. I'm glad I have a few good memories like that of him. Several weeks ago, the Mr saw some travel article about an old school donut shop he wanted to go to sometime. (We're suckers for the old school places over the decorate a crappy cake donut places.) This was how he wanted to celebrate his well earned victory on his test last Thursday. We were on the road pretty early. I knew it was supposed to rain in the morning but we didn't care for the dubious looking clouds. It went from ominous to sheeting rain: It got to 5 ft visibility at one poin...
I think of your birthday as the start of fall but it is hard to get into it when it's still 90 degrees outside. Technically September 22nd is the official first day of Fall so we'll see how close to that Mother Nature actually adheres. Either way, it won't be long before we can get all nice and cozy on a cool night on our patio and I am so looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteIt's often very warm all the way through October here, so basing it on temperature doesn't really work well here. I guess for me Labor Day has always been the big summer wrap up and then fall starts regardless of the calendar or temperature.
ReplyDeleteThe beginning of September always has me taking a deep breath, knowing that fall is on it's way. Oftentimes our entire month is still very, very warm, but some of our leaves have already started changing and I think that's because we've had so much rain. So I still put out some fall décor because I feel like I'm encouraging the cooler days to speed it up. LOL And I'll light a baked candle or two to remind me of the season.
ReplyDeleteFor me fall starts when the leaves start to change colours. We often get very warm weather well into September due to hurricanes in the Atlantic that push the warm weather up. It is very hard to feel fall-like when you are still wearing shorts, the boat is still in the water, and you are still heading to the beach to swim in the ocean. But when the leaves start to change colours fall is hard to deny.
ReplyDeleteThe day after Labor Day has always been the marker for me...school starts, the reruns on TV are almost over, and some of the leaves have already started turning. Even though we almost always have an Indian Summer, it's still fall.
