I can smell Autumn in the air :)

[Toddy]

I've been working in the garden, in and out the lane under the trees, just pottering around all day. Tidying up, sorting stuff, and I just realised that I really was smelling Autumn
No real leaf drop yet, plants are still flowering and fruiting, but it's unmistakeable.

Anyone else aware of the change ?

atb,

From my kitchen I can see to 2 trees near the riverbank turning brown ...

I seriously and intensely hate autumn

 

[Shewie]

Don't say that Mary, I'm still waiting for summer

I seriously and intensely hate autumn

Whereas it's probably my most favourite season...

I just love the special feel Autumn has. Spring always feels dank to me but Autumn is crisp and fresh

 

[blacktimberwolf]

Nope, still hot & dry here, though the nights are getting cooler. Still got some melons waiting to ripen so hopefully there will be a few more warm days yet.
I love the autumn though.

 

[abominable_scouse_monster]

The nights are getting shorter and are most definitely getting colder that's for sure.

Theres a frost due here tomorrow

The north wind and cooler temps are giving a chill to the air. I'm excited, I just love the late autumn and winter and its not far away

I haven't smelt autumn yet but I've noticed the stench of summers rotting vegetation lessening.

Bring on the sweet cold air

It was snowing on top of Cairngorm today .....

The leaves on th sycamore out back are turning, and the hazel nuts are brownig along the lane, hmmmm excellent.

 

[udamiano]

Bring on the snow

 

[Shewie]

Our tomatoes are still green too

 

[Silverclaws]

Yep, autumn is nearly here, I noticed a change in the air a few days ago, not anything in particular, but perhaps a memory motivated sense. But we don't have summer in the UK, we have a long spring followed by a long autumn, although winter is getting pretty long these days.

We were only talking about this today while we were on the South Downs, there was a distinct Autumnal feel to the woods

 

[Toddy]

It's a kind of quiet delight There's a bustle about Autumn that makes us stir ourselves to be busy, be prepared, and preparing for the cooler weather, and we know that the dark is coming.

I love the change of the Seasons every one of them has it's own pleasures, and while Summer is warm and light and vigorously green, it's moving along and it's blessedly cool in the evening I hate trying to sleep when it's hot, stuffy and there's no comfort snuggled down in a warm bed
My brother and his family have been here on holiday from Australia........I've been wandering around in thin cotton clothes, bare armed, and bare footed, while my SIL and her children are swaddled up in layers of wool with scarves and gloves and boots and I'm looking forward to it being even cooler

cheers,
M

Aye, i mentioned to Rachael yesterday there was a definite nip in the air. Time to be closing the greenhouses on a night i think, and start planning some weekends away. My main outdoors time is autumn to spring. Too many folk about in summer for me.

 

[peaks]

The year has definitely turned.......... its getting decidely "backend-ish". Love the autumn.

 

[Rockmonkey]

Best time of the year Autumn!
You can smell it in the air, Nature is definately slowing down!

Yep. Definitely cooling down. Today's forecast high is 85f (29.4c) and tonight's forecast low is 74f (23.3c) About 20f (11.1c) cooler on average than the heat of the Summer.

The surest sign of the season change though is the stores stocking for hunting season and the colleges and universities gearing up for football season. That and the end of Summer vacation for students; my 11 year old grandson started back a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Toddy]

Maximum tomorrow is expected to be about 16'C and at night it'll maybe 4'C
Your heat would kill me Santaman2000

cheers,
