So I've survived my first summer back up north.....I got here a bit before Memorial Day and we just celebrated Labor Day - so I guess that means I survived.
It was hot this summer. I mean HOT - even *I* thought so and I like the heat. And dry as in no rain. It was humid humid humid for the entire time. Taunting us with the hope of rain. Of course, when I moved up here Florida was in a drought. Not so much anymore. Now - it's a real problem up here. And I hear we are in for a wicked winter. Oh Joy, Yipee. Cold, crazy cold (so I'm told) and this year supposed to have a ton of snow! That doesn't sound so good to me.
But right now I'm preparing for my favorite time of the year. Fall. Autumn. The changing leaves, crisp days, clear nights. Football. I am hoping to get to really enjoy it all.
This weekend we are looking at 90 degree heat again. Hot. Hot. Hot. I'm used to that in September. That is the ONLY TIME you ever heard me complain about the heat in Florida. September. Hot. Humid. Even the Gulf of Mexico is around 90 degrees - no where to go for relief. It's just miserable.
But I figure this is the last hot spell we'll see this year. Oh, we may be some warm days. Indian Summer as it were. But Hot? Probably not.
So it's shorts and tee shirts. Barefoot in the grass. The tailend of summer.
Fall. Color. Cool. I'm so glad I've got the camera. Just wait til you see how beautiful it is up here.

Make sure you have your car checked out and ready LONG before winter starts!!
Posted by: Sissy at September 9, 2005 06:16 AMUm... Tammi I hate to tell you, but they say the same thing about winter every year. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong, but they always say the same thing.
We havent' had tons of snow up here for several years. Cold... yes, Snow... no. But one year even the cold wasn't so cold - only a couple days below zero. *grin*
Posted by: Teresa at September 9, 2005 07:26 AMTeresa is right. The last time we had a real bad winter was in 1978. It'll mainly get down into the teens with a couple of days getting to or below zero.
