Happy Autumn

I hate the darker evenings, the garden is looking bedraggled and colourless and i really hate spending days on end in the house. Bring on Spring.

My garden has been dying since July Casdon with the extreme heat here in the south.
I do like Autumn, particularly the darker mornings, I get more sleep, but it’s been a sudden jump down in temperature this year, ten degree drop in two weeks.

No. I love the spring and summer. Autumn depresses me, everything in the garden is dying, the days are getting shorter and it’s getting colder and raining, months of spending most time inside are ahead, I don’t get what is there to like about that.

I have SAD in reverse so today my mood has lifted dramatically. I can't bear the anti social behaviour that goes with light nights.

I just go with the earliest date that I can just so that in my mind it is Autumn.

Autumn is my favourite month too and there is a feeling of autumn now.
Usually don't get that intense heat that summer brings with milder more pleasant temperatures.

I feel the same as you Mischief13. Autumn is my favourite season and September to December are my four favourite months of the year. Usually I am a stickler for the new season starting on the 21st the way we were taught at school but for Autumn I allow myself to believe it starts on the 1st September to gain 3 more weeks. Aveline I really don't think it has come too soon, summer started in late April/early May and has gone on forever.

I suppose it depends which autumn date you go for. The autumn equinox is 23 rd September this year, today is the meteorological one. I tend to go with the former 😁

I agree but, somehow, it's come too soon for me this year.
