I planted my bulbs for next year.

This has always been my favourite time of year - September, October, November.

I like how it's still sunny but there's that chill in the air. I don't know why, but Autumn always feels cinematic to me - like I'm walking through a movie. I don't feel that way at any other time of year.

I also like how all the bugs die and don't appear again until next Summer. Not that I wish any insect any ill-will, but they get on your tits after a bit, don't they?

Cold rainy yuck here I've been singing rain, rain go away for 2 days now hoping to get a cute pic of Jenna in the leaves before my hubby rakes them up. I was hoping they'd be around on her 5month birthday but more than half of the leaves have hit the ground already...
We have some gorgeous hill in Duluth right now though

Now that is GREAT news! ~Smile. No, really!

'Tis Autumn

Old Father time checked, so there'd be no doubt;
Called on the North wind to come on out,
Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout,
"La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn!"

Trees say they're tired, they've born too much fruit;
Charmed on the wayside, there's no dispute.
Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn!

Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.
After makin' their decision, in birdie-like precision,
Turned about, and made a beeline to the south.

My holding you close really is no crime
Ask the birds and the trees and old Father Time.
It's just to help the mercury climb.
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn.

It's just to help the mercury climb.
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, 'tis autumn.

Pretty!

But, you do realize that everything but the mum's are going to die soon, right?

Mazurack said:

You're a ho.

Lowe's guarantees they'll come back next year.

CortestheKiller said:

Are they Primrose?

They're still going to die soon, regardless of whether they come back next year or not.

Mazurack said:

I don't count it as dead if they're capable of coming back, lickalotapuss.

CortestheKiller said:

Dead. The life sucked out of it. Just like your fall weather.

Mazurack said:

Now you're just being nasty.

CortestheKiller said:

thnx!

AndGodCreatedMe said:

It's a great doormat. It only set me back $3, too!

CortestheKiller said:

i would love to have it at my front door can you ship it to me? I would pay for the costs

AndGodCreatedMe said:

No. They have much nicer ones online. I found that one at a flea market and didn't care about the fanciness, cos I just wanted the message involved.

Kitchen Kapers has one. I've ordered some cutting boards and such from them, actually.... Here's the link to the mat itself!

Mazurack said:

Ho.

Mazurack said:

Those are icicle pansies. They'll bloom right through December, maybe longer.
Even in the snow.

shellyevon said:

Pansies!

But... shhhh on the blooming part!

Thank you!

LOVE Autumn...
Jumpers and scarves, wooly clothing, crisp leaves underneath your feet, misty breath... it just takes me back to being a kid for some reason.

* Little kiddies walking to school in their bright, new clothes
* No more sweaty, uncomfortable days
* Warm cider and roasted corn
* Chunky sweaters and velvety courdoroy
* Football and tailgate parties
* Oktoberfests
* School open houses (I LOVE those! )
* Homecomings
* Things pumpkin
* Foliage tours
* Thanksgiving (Twice for me this year!! )
* Actual darkness at eveningtime, so that you can unwind and just relax.
* A slight chill -- an excuse to cuddle under a thick blanket.

Autumn is the jewel of the YEAR! Shame the earth can't die all year 'round.

Yeay yeay yeay! I love fall.

It doesn't feel like it here yet, though. At least to me. Looking forward to it.

"When autumn comes it doesn't ask, it just walks in where it left you last. You never know when it starts until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart." (John Mayer, "Something's Missing")

I always love that part.

All of this (with the exception od the courdoroy) is awesome stuff!
