The blueberries and most of the wild raspberries are much over ripe. No more picking berries for this year.

We have two big bowls of apples picked straight from the tree in the kitchen table, and they smell so good. Also, cinnamon scented candles definitely smell like autumn.

Still feels like summer here, but the mushrooms are popping up everywhere in the woods.Found a nice bunch of Oyster mushroom which will be dinner today.

Most of the women on the beaches here in sunny southern California have switched from bikinis to one-piece bathing suits.

this is making me jealous. Scotland has skipped autumn and gone straight to winter.

The local crows are beginning to return to their fall/winter roosting site every evening now.

It's almost completely dark by the time I'm done with my horseback riding lessons (~8 PM).

Lots of rain/storms the past couple weeks.

I'm getting migraines fairly frequently from the pressure changes that are coming with the aforementioned precipitation.

The rain and somewhat cooler temperatures are making our lawn grow very quickly. My dad mowed it last Saturday, and it's been badly in need of another mowing for a few days now, but it's been too wet to mow.

The same conditions mean toads are coming out when I take my dog for his evening walk.

Don't know what kind of trees they are, but the leaves on the ones all over the downtown area are turning red. Lots more leaves on the ground on trails. It's supposed to be overcast the next several days.

Restaurants are switching over to their fall menus. Yay, pumpkin pancakes at the place we go to for brunch on Sundays :heart:

The male robins born this year now have red chest feathers and the hawthorn and holly trees have red berries.

The neighbors' vineyards are thick with grapes, and two of the apple trees have broken limbs from being overloaded with fruit (the wonders of pesticides). And big boxes of watermelons in, seemingly, every store.
