Fall is a major downer for me also. I have begun to cross country ski just becuase I do like to be outside & that is one way to enjoy the outdoors & do exploring.

BUT.. the sun, warmth, flowers, water.. etc. BIGGEST PROBLEM IN LIVING IN OHIO IS THE SHORT SEASON.

No doubt about it

Next biggest problem in living in Ohio (our sport teams suck)

but weather.. ugh. When I left Ohio for the south in the late 60s I vowed I would never live in cold climates again.

HA. God has ways of making us eat our words.

Off topic.. Rush L just said he has 3 cats. Declawed. just going off about it.... funny

My Mom is the same way. Autumn brings her down. WAY down, sometimes. My girlchild is the same way, too.

I have always, from the time I was a kid, loved autumn and winter. I feel SO much better when the air is crisp and the leaves are multi-colored and yes, that anticipation of snow is in the air.

I have a large jar candle named "Autumn Afternoon". I bought it last spring so I could light it and think of fall.:)

I know I'm WAY in the minority on this. What can I say???;^)

Thanks for the follow up on the fire, Guennie. We use a humidistat at the FL abode. Yikes!
