Summer into fall...
Since I can remember, I've waited for fall...
Waited for cooler weather-
and
Waited for cooler weather-
and
And yes...
Waited for cooler weather!
98 yesterday-
97 today-
Get this
100 next Monday!
(why do I even look??)

So, unless I move and that's out, I'll just make fall happen in my home and thoughts.
List of things to do asap.
Bring fall arrangements in.
Put fall placemats out.
Get some awesome smelling potpourri.
Put out fall pillows.
Plant fall flowers.
Keep AC on high.
Put capri pants away.
Put sandals away...well, maybe.
Wear sweaters and pretend.
Don rustic and jewel toned clothing.
Pretend our trees are changing colors, not just dry.
Smell the goodness in the air.
Bake, make soups and stews and roasts.
Listen to the band play on Friday evenings.
Read all that my friends in the NW and NE tell me about their weather and pout and pray. Their heater going this morning, good grief!
Wait for the heat to pass.
Wait some more...
I dream of this...a road trip maybe?
Oh, I love these flowers, they will be on my table soon.
Now, if we have a fire going, I know I'll be ready to deck the halls! Woo hoo!
I'm waiting for that too.
I'm really ready to deck the halls, I am! I could! Never too soon for me. I am one of those happy ones that loves Christmas decorations going up at Hobby Lobby, all of the malls, Walgreens, wherever-
Makes me so happy.
I admit it. The longer it lasts, the better.
Okay, I know we have a few other wonderful holidays in between now and December,
but, I can't wait!
But, back to fall, I love fall.
Are we there yet?
Not quite, I'll let you know,
but it's just taking way too long.
Blah...blah...blah.
Oh, I'd better watch out-
Nancy

PS Has the heat caused this delirious state?
I long for Fall too Nancy~~I think it is finally coming to the South. Not sure about our colors though this year, I am a little iffy, but we shall see. I am having fun decorating though.
ReplyDeleteGREAT posting, Nancy!! I'm with ya on all of this. I love Christmas decorating so much that I am thinking about it the whole time I'm decorating for Fall. "Okay, if I use lotsa red in my Fall decorating, does that mean all I have to do is remove the orange and brown and replace it with mega amounts of green holly and candy canes?" Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteIn my mind I am seeing you zooming through your beautiful home decorating!
Love ya girl!!

I make no bones about bein' a summer kinda chick and I loved that yesterday was 80 but we've also had some 40 degree mornin' that remind me that wood and a fire are not far away.
ReplyDeleteThat said...I could decorate for Christmas any time of year. Love it...can't get to much of it.
Ya'll have a marvelously beautiful blessed day!!! :o)
Loved this, Nancy! Fall is my favorite season, too. And you're funny about Christmas! Ever since I was a kid (long time ago!), I always dug out my Christmas albums and started playing them when the weather first turned cool/cold! Usually in October! I'm right there with ya....Wish I could help your temperatures fall!
ReplyDeletelaughing over here! especially the A/C on high and the (not) packing away sandals. i wore mine loud and proud yesterday!
ReplyDeleteWe are finally getting some cooler weather. I agree it's hard to feel like Fall when it's 100 degrees. Hang in there and hey Christmas will be here soon! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteOh I wish for you rain and cooler temperatures. We, thankfully, had rain last night, but still have had very little rain this summer. It is cooler and the a/c is off.
ReplyDeleteNancy, hoping you have cooler weather SOON! Like maybe NOW! You must be soooo tired of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog today!

We are cool in the Midwest, but the leaves aren't changing yet...soon I hope, that's when I like to bring fall into my home. And of course cook and bake and change out my wardrobe!! All the good stuff!!
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun post, Nancy!
XO,
Jane
I love all of the beautiful photos and what you wrote! Fall is my least favorite season so I like to read all of the good things about it so that I can get excited, too! enjoy your week and come back to visit me soon! ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy- Can I send you some cooler weather? It is in the 30's here at night now...and I wish it were a tad warmer. I guess we never really LIKE the weather we are given...at least most of the time...but I DO love this Fall weather that is now upon us! Beautiful photos you posted today! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThat top pic is how we will look in about 2 weeks!
So sorry your still so hot...wishing I could send you some of our cooler weather too.
Diana(above) lives in Wisconsin too.(although we're on opposite sides of the state)
I loved the inspirational pics you posted!
And thanks for your visit and sweet comments too!
Big Hugs,
Cindy
Nancy - oh boy , I bet you are ready for cooler weather! 100!
ReplyDeleteIt is cool here in michigan and beginning to feel and look like fall. The leaves are changing and starting to fall. I am loving it.
I am getting my fall decoration out this weekend and I can't wait.
As far as Christmas I can't wait for that either. Last year I bought a silver Christmas tree on clearance from a really cool store and I can;t wait to put it up~!!!
My husband has no idea that is going to happen!
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
Fall is my very favorite season too Nancy. I can't wait to decorate either. You are hotter then we are for sure. sandie
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh all the way through your post. We have been between 104 and 107 and they promise we'll be down to 99 by next week. I don't think Fall is ever going to get here. I just pretend since it never gets very cold here anyway. Cute post. Hope it cools down soon. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYou have had such a hot summer! Up here it's cool and rainy now, but the sun shines a bit every day. I love this time of year!
ReplyDeleteOh my sweet friend we are going to be such great friends I am a Keeper of Christmas from waay back and fall is my favorite season! Just signed up to be your newest follower!

Beutiful photos, Nancy. Our trees never look quite that good...Christine
ReplyDeleteOh my friend, I am sooooo enjoying SOME cooler weather:) It's not totally cool yet but I did have to drag out the jeans and a sweatshirt for a late evening ballgame! I am enjoying it and pray that you all get some chilly temps soon! You have had enough hot and dry weather down there! BIG HUGS!
ReplyDelete"...you better not pout..♫♪
ReplyDeleteI can't put fall stuff out with 90 degree weather, either. Nope..I may just wait for CHRISTMAS...I'm with you, girl, it"s decorating for Christmas that I love.
O, I have a fall wreath..a few fallish candles..but that's about it.
We have high 70s & lo 80s but chilly night ... love it. I only decorate for Christmas & by then I will have the cold weather & spirit to change things for the month only.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of your darling little pinkies ... they are precious.
Have a beautiful week.
TTFN ~

It's almost like you placed a tiny microphone inside my head!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention Christmas, Nancy. Having just moved my hubby told me today that we have way too much Christmas stuff that needs to be stored. When we left New York last Monday night it was in the 70's and very humid. Our arrival into Ohio was cool and it felt oh so good after that humidity. It has remained cool here since and I'm guessing it will stay this way now! As long as I'm dressed for it, I love it!
