What is the sign for you that fall has arrived? I had some corn for dinner. It was not that

[applegrove]

great and is the last bit of corn I will have this year. :cry: I also saw a brown leaf :scared:

1. the first rain and not needing to

have the fan on at night. That was today. :)

[amyrose2712]

3. I wish that would happen for me. Still warm for me.

[dana_b]

5. oh this is very short lived

it is supposed to be near 100 degrees again by mid week. :(

2. For me summer is over when the Albuquerque Balloon

Fiesta Balloon Fiesta takes place. Just as summer starts when Gomer sings "Back Home In Indiana"

[grasswire]

4. Gomer is still alive?

Really?

[BarbaRosa]

8. Yup.

He was ill for awhile, but he sang this year.

[Tallulah]

6. After the first big cool rain

and pecans fall.

[Brigid]

7. The big oak outside my bedroom window has started dropping acorns.

Squirrels running around with nuts in their mouths.

[fizzgig]

9. the fans are turned off and i'm wearing a hoodie to work

we got up into the mountains today and the aspens are changing. we still have plenty of nice weather to go, though

[Lucian]

10. When I see pumpkin pie liqueur at the local liquor store.

Also, when the air becomes crisp, the days become sunny, and the smell of decaying leaves is in the air.

I love it.

11. Ground spider webs in the grass.

Foggy mornings

Cleaning up the veg garden

Taking down the hummingbird feeder

12. The bunny shed into his winter coat.

And he sheds like SIX BUNNIES WORTH OF HAIR twice a year.

13. When the daytime temp gets below 90deg, and nights drop below 78deg.

As for brown leaves, we have had them for several months at least. Lack of rain is killing the trees rapidly.

[Shagbark Hickory]

14. I can breathe again. If only for a brief while.

Until the heat has to be turned on.

[sammytko]

15. I feel like cooking again

Its still hot here in s. texas, but not numbingly hot. I made a nice chicken soup on Friday when we had a short cold front. I made some biscuits Saturday morning. I made a big skillet of fajitas last night and had that with hot tortillas.

Just start feeling like eating more meat. Can't wait for turkey. I'll eat turkey anytime of the year, but it is just too hot to turn on the oven, even with AC.

16. The spike in the temperature ...

the last gasp on summer.

[kentauros]

17. "Fall"? What's that?

We have two seasons here: Summer and Not-Summer :P

[av8rdave]

18. The fireflies go away

[nolabear]

19. The light. Autumn light here in the rare sunny days is just incredible.

[Odin2005]

20. Frost on the ground when I wake up.

[pokerfan]

21. Hearing the geese heading south

I live next to a river, one of their stop-overs. Every spring. Every fall. Noisy things. It sounds exactly like this:
