Uh. The Fall, she is fleeting a bit too fast for me.
*opens door and hollers* “Fall! Faaaaaal! Come back!”
I’m cold. I’ve been cold since
um,
um,
hm?
sometime last week?
It’s runnin 25-45 degrees from night to day, and I feel that’s more of a winter sorta temperature range, not to mention the snow, and then the sleet, that slapped itself down in my yard like it’s January.
There are always a few days in October, where Winter makes his near attendance known, but I don’t remember it lasting quite this long. My MIL likes to tell a story about how the seasons play tug of war. This annoyed me when I was younger, but now it’s become a story I take pleasure in telling myself.
Of course, I’ve been gone awhile, and my blood has thinned from all those southern winters (which are not winters.) I expect this winter will be hard on me. I fear February a little bit.
Nevermind how I usually I fear August.
I still prefer being too cold to being too hot.
Meanwhile, I make soup and bake things.
I enjoy snuggling my husband. And by snuggling, I mean, allowing him to touch me for non-sexual purposes, or sometimes, pressing my body against his, or tucking my hands under him, and even now and again crying out, “Hold me!” Apparently, I haven’t been so snuggly for about eight years.
Me in Georgia: OMFG! Get off me! You’re so hot! Stop touching me!
Me in Indiana: OMFG! You’re so warm! Ooh! Yes! Mmm.
The Mister is a hot man. So that’s nice.

It is indeed getting mighty nippy out there, but oh how I love this time of year, so cozy! It’s supposed to be 50 out today though, so I’m heading to the apple orchard with my family. ( Not all of us are fortunate enough to have an abundance of apples readily available. 😉 ) I’m totally on the same page with you about preferring to be cold over being hot. I. HATE. HOT.
Have a great weekend, stay warm!
And “stay gold Ponyboy”

Haha! Well I would LIKE to go to the apple orchard myself, (not for the apples, touche) and I have a handful of other things to do before it’s too cold!
I hope you and your family have a great time, Jewels!

I am so gloriously happy not to have to deal with winter any more. We have just enough here and there to remind us of how we are not digging out 3 feet of snow. 🙂

Totally with you…much prefer to be cold than hot. In the winter we keep the heat set at least 5 degrees cooler than we keep the a/c during the summer. I just can’t stand the suffocating feeling of being hot! (Also, in my old age, my internal thermostat does not allow me to self-regulate as easily as it used to, so when I get HOT I have a lot of trouble cooling off.)
Enjoy the snuggling! Total benefit of living in a colder climate. 😉

Agree. Summer thermostat was 73 and Winter one 68 or less! You can always put more ON, but you can’t take more OFF!

Oh boy, I’d be roasting at 73 degrees in the summer! LOL But then again, my temperature gauge is all screwed up. 😉

I know you say that, but it was on 73 when we moved in, and it was always cool. Our room was freezing (closest to the unit.) In Georgia, we ran it at 68 as well, but maybe it’s because it’s only one-story here, or because it’s not cheaply constructed like military housing. Anyway, normally I’d agree with you 🙂
