What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
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.
