Forget summer nights turning into fall days; summer may have well overstayed past it’s farewell date on the calendar, but it looks like old man winter wants to finally move in.
It’s 65 degrees today in the ‘burgh and you know what!? It’s freakin’ November! We are suppose to be freezing our arses off at football games, huddling around bonfires and kegs, wrapping ourselves up with flannel at night and putting the wind breakers away for the year.
Instead, I’ve been alternating between no coat, a wind breaker and a slightly heavy coat – not freezing my arse off at football games and instead of huddling I’m finding myself sweating next to the bonfires.
Look, I’m not complaining too much… because I have enjoyed going out in the evenings with just a long sleeve shirt – especially on Halloween – and enjoying lunches outside in the sun. But you know what? It doesn’t really feel like Fall! Normally I think of fall as the mid 40’s to mid 50’s… not 60’s and 70’s! If this was music we were talking about at a party, I’d say we were a decade off.
So as the weather forecast is starting to show winter unpacking, I’d like to say goodbye to Summer 2008, again; and if Summer happens to see Fall in the off-season, I’d hope there would be mention of Autumn returning next year.
BTW: Winter… don’t get too comfy like Summer. I’d like the April showers and May flowers to feel welcome in 2009.
Here are some pics from the “calendar” Fall season, to send off Summer / Fall? and welcome winter with scarfs n’ coats.
