I finally got to wear a hoodie comfortably. Sleeping with a blanket instead of just a sheet. All the flower baskets that were hanging from downtown lamp posts have been taken down. The public beach island is closed for the season. Some trees are getting tinges of red. Pumpkin patches. Halloween stuff in stores. And school time again.

Wow, you know you're obsessed with autism when you click on a thread like this and realize you misread the title and it's about autumn. I had to read a couple of posts and was trying to figure out what the color of leaves changing had to do with signs of autism.

Okay, while I'm here:

It's rained for like three days in a row where I am, and it's getting colder. Also, the sun is coming out later in the day which is causing it to be harder for me to wake up in the morning.

Getting cooler here, and I'm glad. I hated the heat and humidity we had in August.

:lol:

I'm more likely to switch back and forth with the heat/air conditioner in the car--or roll the windows down.
I waffle about taking a jacket in the morning--and have to pay a little more attention to the forecast.
Any morning condensation on windows, cars, and blades of grass takes longer to dry off.
The "new school year" vibe starts to settle down a bit.
The air is a little drier.
We can open the windows to let the fresh air fill up the house.
I see fewer bugs, more large birds (especially geese).
Shadows start to lengthen.
Things seem to sound a little louder.
The breeze gets stronger.

There was a tourist from New Hampshire in the antique store the other day that remarked how similar it looked to his home.We have sugar maples here also and the old timers used to tap them for syrup.I'm going to try my hand at it this spring.

It's that time of year:

Hazmat Team Evacuates School Over Pumpkin Spice Air Freshener

A Baltimore school was evacuated Thursday by a hazardous materials crew after complaints of a strange odor that turned out to be a pumpkin spice air freshener.

Cristo Rey Jesuit High School was evacuated at 2:30 p.m. Thursday due to a weird smell, reported WBALTV11.

However, fire officials confirmed later that the odor was from pumpkin spice air freshener after running tests that did not detect hazardous materials.
