It's autumn in Detroit. I'm so jealous of you

"LEAFERS!"
That is all.
That is all.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

I love Boston in Autumn. It's beautiful in the city, but you go a few miles out and you get all that wonderful New England folliage.

"Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel - I'm home"
Sing it, Ella!

It's such a wonderful song: wistful, hopeful, happy and melancholy, all at the same time.
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love.
But Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain.
It's cold and rainy here today, DG, and it feels just like Ella's version of that song.

I love it, PJ - and goodness knows, Ms. Ella can capture every little nuance of what there is to feel.

I love this song, PJ...
...and REALLY wish I was in New York, this time of year.
Hey, when DO the leaves actually start to turn colors and fall off in New York? Isn't it more like late-October??
I've lived in Los Angeles too long... the "Land of One Perpetual Season," so I forget. It's all one big, long, endless season out here... forever.
The seasonal changes are a great way of marking time. I don't miss freezing my ass off through winter, though!

...and springtime for Hitler.
Seriously, I love the weather today. Cold, rainy, windy. Time to make a stew. Of course, come Monday, it'll be hot and humid again.

Autumn in Connecticut is beautiful. But I'm not ready for autumnal weather yet. Don't get me wrong, I love layering, but not.yet. Right now, though, it's rainy and miserable.

It's funny here at the Jersey Shore. It's packed because it's Labor Day Weekend, but no one is doing the normal activities. The diners are packed. The video stores are packed. The ice cream places and boardwalks are empty. It was perfect fall napping weather today.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

It's hotter than, er, well, you know where here in the Tampa area. I'm a transplant from Maine, and I will miss the fall foliage this time of year.

It's very hot here...although this morning it was about 67 degrees...but it was up in the 90's today, and the other day it was 100.
I'll be home when the morning comes.

I love living in NY. We get a little bit of each season and we all look forward to the coming season. Like in May we were so ready for the heat and beach, now we're looking forward to going apple picking out east, well at least the elderly are.

Hey, WickedGeek! I resemble that remark...no apples on the Upper West Side, though. (Well, a few rotten ones, perhaps...)
