Who would laugh if I opened my windows and started a fire in the fireplace?
(At a minimum, light my fall scented candles all over the house!)

 

Hell, I've done it ... go for it and enjoy! 

I love this time of the year. I had my windows open a few mornings ago and it was so nice. Go for it! It's time for the smells of the holidays. 

Fall has always been my favorite time of the year. I like spring and summer, but totally dislike winter.

I love the smells and colors of fall, the temperatures are always moderate and comfortable. Being a born & raised Houstonian I doubt I could ever adjust to areas where it's already cold, I know I could not enjoy months and months of snow & frigid cold weather.

My best friend is a YANKEE, born in NY. She and her husband worked for the airlines and on their off days they would travel. Thirty something years ago, it was a long, frigid cold spell in NY and they decided to go where it was warm on their get-away. They headed here to Houston because the DH had a family member here.

She said when they left they had to bundle in heavy coats, when they got off the plane it was so nice & warm down here. They fell in love with the weather. Went back to NY and the temps were still frigid. They talked about it was was moved down here within a few months. She said she swore she would never endure another freezing cold winter & she never has - moved here, raised 2 kids and now has 5 grandchildren. Sadly her husband passed away this past Friday, the services were today.

Keeps getting better! Pulling out the vanilla and pumpkin spiced candles!

Oma,
Sorry for your friend's loss! Prayers for her, her family, and you. 

C'mon 28! 

Aman, don't wish that on us...please. Maybe 35, but not 28. It's just too old for me. 

Compromise:

C'mon 29! 

NO!!!! 

I agree Oma!

Daytime highs no lower than 65. For me that would be perfect. 

Last offer:

C'mon 30!

Has to be under 30 or the neighbor will not fall on her driveway! 

Aman, if you want that kind of cold you need to move to Washington DC.
-------> running for the door on that one! 

running for the door on that one!

Well, when you get outside, don't slip on the ice and fall!

My turn to run (jog). 

Hey now, going outside constitutes a form of exercise, aka walking. That's not in my vocabulary, so I won't be falling unless I fall out of my recliner! 

AM, Oma, (even Fancy),

Ya'll crack me up!
