Welp. September is almost here.

I love the "soft light" of Fall.

It's so calming and peaceful.

Yep, we’ll all be dead eventually.

Lol R2.

Namaste to you, too!

Going too fast, I'm not ready for summer to end.

Pumpkin Spice time, everyone!!!!

All the years fly by, really.

🎶 Will I see you in September? 🎶

It's in the 80's here right up til Halloween anymore, thanks to global warming. Last year we had green leaves still on the trees til November, which was unheard of when I was a child.

September is just August II.

I can't tell if r5 is serious or is just being a cunt. Little on earth is worse than pumpkin spice. Devoting months to it instead of ten minutes after eating Thanksgiving dinner is a crime against humanity. I avoid Starbucks and Trader Joe's during this season, and frankly, every other season as well.

Thank God. The humidity can't dissipate fast enough. I always travel in the fall because it's the best time--mild weather, most of the country has little rain, no crowds, no screaming kids.

try to remember the kind of September...

I bought some new mugs to cradle from Dollar Tree.

Wake me up when September ends.

Major shit is coming down

Okay R14, I'll bite.

What kind of "major shit," and when?

I love fall, but wish I was in a better space both mentally and physically to enjoy it. I have too much on my mind.

and it's probably going to be another 3 months before the weather actually cools down to normal fall temperatures.

Well, R14?

We're still waiting.

Fall is the death of summer and it makes me sad. It gets dark at 8 pm now and is noticeably darker at 6:30 when I finish up with work.

I think we’re going to have an early fall. Some leaves are already turning and the yellow jackets are being stupid already, usually don’t see this kind of frenzy until October.

R14, here . Except economic collapse, homeless increases and covid variants. Get your head out of your ass and face the music

Expect

That's like every year, since the beginning of time.

Not me. I hate August. September and the fall and all that brings is my next favorite time of year after spring. I don’t like extremes in the weather.

R16, we’re here for you, hun. And we ain’t goin nowhere.

With COVID on the uptick, I'll be expecting a new round of stimulus checks when everything shuts down again in the fall.

Thanks, Joe!

Fall is my favorite season.

Not too hot, not too cold.

And it gets dark early.

What more could you ask for?

Amen, r26.

I turn 60 the end of September. Fortunately I only look 25.

Sure, Jan.

R28, you’ve got to put your spectacles on, hon.

Shit, it's six more weeks of summer down here!

Fall my ass!

fall doesn't begin until September 22nd.

I don't mind Fall much, but I hate winter. I wish we could have a long Fall, 2 weeks of Winter around the holidays, than a glide into a decent Spring, then a long Summer.

Looking forward to the temperature in NYC plunging into the 80s.

There is no winter in west coast

Time makes you bolder. Children get older. I’m getting older too.

With global warming winter is going to become the new fall.

move to the south US. That pretty much describes our weather. Though winter and cold temps don't really happen until late January.

Warning: that cheap stuff has lead in it.

Sadly, 'welp' is now recognized as an actual word in the dictionary.

Welp, it's about time.

Fall is definitely almost here.

The light is getting softer in the afternoon.

In some parts of world, this 1st "BER" month ushers in the holiday season. Christmas songs would start playing in the radio.

Can't believe temps will only be in the 80s soon enough.

Summertime kids in the street. They were up on the roof laughing at the heat. That was the last I ever saw of you. Now it’s December, cold and dark. No more rainbows up on Central Park.

Is that one of them haikus?

I like autumn until about Halloween. November is ghastly in Chicago. The leaves all fell off the trees by Halloween, but the previous two years I was still raking leaves into December.

Quote from OP: "This year is just flying by, isn't it?"

Yes it is and the anxiety and subdued terror of what is happening to our country continues without relief. I do hope you all are dealing with it much better than I am. It affects us all and we all cope in various ways. For people like myself who have always been "worries", it has been mentally devastating. My mother worried about everything. I always told myself I would never do that, yet here I am. I am not sure if it is a learned behavior or hereditary. Either way it truly sucks, 😆. If I only had zannies! Anyone know how I can do that? 😇

R48- That should be worrier. Fall has always been my favorite time of year. Almost spiritual. The relief from the heat is so welcomed. It is the only season I really love and look forward to. Pumpkins! 🎃

I've never felt so alienated in my life. My mother is (newly and finally) out of my life (by my choice) and the rest of my family has pretty much ostracized me as a result. I have very few friends left and my birthday falls in September. I am increasingly thinking about how meaningless my life feels and how few people would care if I was gone. I just don't know how to feel better.

Boo hoo pity party

Oh welp.

Aren't Autumn in New York and Moonlight in Vermont basically the same song?

I love this version. It's beautiful. Have it as your theme song this autumn, OP.

I'm just glad summer is finally winding down. It's really hot here in Georgia, and I'm ready for the cool that usually takes hold from, October to till about late April. Those are my happy months as far as the weather goes.

That means long cool nighttime walks and time to myself to enjoy the weather and fresh air.

I just love it!

September is officially here.

Three weeks until Fall!

Change of season here means that the palm trees are decorated with Christmas lights.

We could slip away Wouldn't that be better Me with nothing to say And you in your autumn sweater

R50 Happy Birthday to you from another September baby! We have the best birthday month.

Damn! You bitches get real sentimental in September.

Who knew?

R50, r60, happy birthday to us all!

Another New Years Eve accident here.

[quote] I am increasingly thinking about how meaningless my life feels and how few people would care if I was gone.

I ain’t much, but I would care if you’re gone. We need you here to post. That’s at least something.

Willie sings it well.

Wake me up when September ends.

Yay! Fall leaves, Halloween, Thanksgiving - then Christmas and New Years! Best time of the year!

Welp. Now September is here.

Welp, whaddaya know about that?

R67 and R68 are sitting on their porch in Vermont, smoking pipes.

We thank you for your support, r69.

R60, R62, R63 Love you all. 😘🤗 Lol....New Years accident. It never occurred to me! 😅 Happy Birthday yooz. ❤

R50- Happy birthday darling! 🥳 We love you! 🤗

I hope everyone is doing welp.

September is usually ghastly here. It's when summer kicks into high gear and it seems to go on forever. Sometimes it stretches into Oct. I like when Nov arrives, then the holiday season from Nov-Jan is my favorite part of the year. I put up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and it stays up until Feb 1. Although last year it stayed up all year. I put it up in Nov 2019 and took it down for about 2 weeks in Feb 2020. Then back up it went due to the pandemic and stayed up until March 2020. I needed something that gave me little moments of happy and coziness during all the chaos.

Oops, I meant it stayed up all year until March *2021* when the lights started to burn out.

Believe it or not, today - today was exceptionally Autumn-like in (my part of) NorCal. didn't get above 70 and "all the leaves are brown" and the skies were a bit overcast, winds blowing. Felt like an actual fall-like day.

Fall? It's 28°C today. It's so dry we still have forest fire warnings.

We do too, r77. but today was cool. we have another month and half before we're out of the woods. but today felt like an actual fall day.

Where are you, R74?

Is anyone getting some cold weather yet?

No. The forecast for Ohio is we won't see the 60s til mid-October.

So. Fucking. Tired. Of. Sweating.

Don’t talk about Hawaii. And you’d never want to be here in Christmastime.

hotter than fuck today, it usually cools down by this time

What part of the country, R83?

Would it kill some of you to mention where you are posting from? It's kind of relevant on this thread.

Exactly, R85.

Welp. Summer ends next week.

Enjoy the warm weather while you can.

Adios, summer!

Not gonna miss ya.

The leaves are just starting to turn here in NY. The good thing about all the rain we had this spring and summer should produce some vibrant foliage over the next six weeks.

NYC sees vibrant foliage whenever Lourdes Leon raises her arm.

It's finally getting colder here in Norway. Just 12°C today. Had to turn om the heat. Can't wait for my electricity bill next month. Should be fun with record high electricity prices :(

September morn. We danced until the night became a brand new day. Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play.

Local temps drop from 90s to 80s here.

What is 12C in F?

Norgie @ r91

I assumed electricity was cheap in Norge what with all the hydroelectric dams there. No?

R95 No. We are unfortunately part of the EU market (even though we are not part of the EU, go figure). And the electricity is VERY expensive in the EU right now, so it's exspensive here too. What sucks is Norway is cold half the year. We can expect electricity bills 3 to 4 times more expensive than usual this winter. Can't wait!

Welp, it's Sept. 17th and 88 degrees in Wisconsin, so much for cool Fall weather

[quote] Welp, it's Sept. 17th and 88 degrees in Wisconsin, so much for cool Fall weather

Watching Happy Days, I always assumed that Milwaukee was cold all the time.

^ It used to be

Everything is finally cooling down.

This thread is timeless!
