Default What do you love about Autumn and all things Autumn etc...

...I know it’s still some weeks away...but it’s the 1st September so the month that gives us Autumn, officially...do you love/do you not love/the bits you love about the season we’re heading for etc...

Just feeling that different smell in the air!

My weekend has been non stop work, i reckon 7 hours sleep max in 3 days. I just got home, it's a little chilly, i like that about Autumn too. Sitting in the garden right now
, watching the cats go booloo, a couple beers, and McDonalds Breakfast on the way soon.

Bliss!

(i have 3 days off, imma sleep all damn day today, can't wait lol)

maybe next week a bit more of a summer day for us here, maybe what weather forecasters here said this morning but they also think summer overall is over for the year again

Autumn is my favourite season.
Although sadly the seasons seem to be mixed up now.

I used to love Autumn mornings while even at school and since.
The cooler mornings, walking through leaves.
Also the changing of the colours of the leaves too.

Autumn was like holding onto the memories acquired each year from Spring and Summer, so making the most of it before the bleaker time of Winter.

Just for me a really beautiful time of the year.

No it is not. Meteorological Autumn starts today. WHat you are referring to is Astronomical autumn.

To use the astronomical "seasons" you end up with the 20th of December still being autumn and that is nonsense

Meteorological autumn

Meteorological seasons consist of splitting the seasons into four periods made up of three months each. These seasons are split to coincide with our Gregorian calendar, making it easier for meteorological observing and forecasting to compare seasonal and monthly statistics. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of autumn is always 1 September; ending on 30 November.

The seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February).

Oh you know... the sunsets, the colours of the trees, cooler nights (I can't sleep when it's hot), the dying of the light and the unstoppable march into the quiet darkness of winter .

I loved the dark months when I was an emo teenager but a few years ago I hit a pretty major existential 1/3-life-crisis and absolutely hated the next few autumns and winters. Felt like desperately trying to slam the breaks whilst trudling towards a screaming abyss and just wasn't comfy at all.

I found it again last winter though... a love of and cosiness in the long nights. Like a big ol' fluffy blanket, mmm, that familiar shiver down the spine of a night that's hovering somewhere between rain and ice.

Also Halloween.

Absolutely everything.
My favourite season of the year.
Autumn means home to me, after so many years in Africa it was lovely to feel and experience the first Autumn here.
Autumn means cosy, my birth season, and a crisp and fresh lead up to Christmas.🍁🍂🌲

Me and my wife had a debate about whether a white patch we could see up on the hills when we took a drive up to Fort William was snow. I took the position that it was a large white tent. I was proven to be a FOOL as it was indeed snow. My confusion was that it was something like 25 degrees that day and there was no snow HIGHER UP than the little patch, but I suppose it must have been in a shaded crevace or something.

Definitely the colder nights, I can wrap up in layers when I go out and I can wear cozy pyjamas in bed and have lots of blankets over me!

The absolute best are the cosy nights in.

Sitting down in front of the TV with the fire on, “big lights” off and just lamps on, maybe a blanket/throw over you, tea/coffee/hot choc in your favourite mug with the wind and rain lashing against the windows outside.

Bliss.
