HAPPY FALL!!

I’m the weirdo who puts pumpkin spice creamer in hot chocolate because I don’t like coffee or tea lol

My favorite things about fall are gaming and baking c:

i'll miss the summer but i love love LOVE autumn so i'm so excited

need to try this

Oh, I’m not the only one xD I’m the weirdo who does that, too, haha.

I like pumpkin flavor, but I don’t drink coffee and I only drink herbal teas (haven’t found a pumpkin flavored tea that wasn’t black or green).

I loved fall when we lived in the northeast. Seeing all the leaves change colors and the crisp air. Just cozy weather. So many memories of playing in leaves, going to parks or farms, stuff like that. 😊

Fall in the southeast sucks. It’s just more summer until October, except most pools are closed now and seeing fall stuff in stores. Sometimes we don’t get cooler weather at all anymore because of climate change.

It’s also the most active part of hurricane season. 😒

To the text in bold: oh neat! I don’t really go to Starbucks much but when I do I usually get the red pepper egg bite things or the vanilla steamer cuz I don’t like chocolate lol

to the text in italics: ooooh cool. Do you like jump scares? What’s the best haunted house you’ve been to?

The vanilla steamer is milk with vanilla syrup lol.

The best haunted house? I mean, the most elaborate one I’ve been to was the Mysterious Mansion in Gatlinburg. I also enjoy escape rooms with a spookiness to them. Did one witb my friend where we had to escape caskets. And I don’t necessarily like jump scares, but I do like the thrill. 

Yay it’s fall!

In the fall I love doing school stuff (if I'm in school), going on hikes to see the leaves, visiting an outdoor historical museum in my state, eating pumpkin pie and apple pie, and reading❤️

Yeah, summer is kinda the dress rehearsal for hurricane season. We use it to get ready. The season picks up in August and is most active in September. This continues into October and begins to lessen in November. It’s usually over by December, if we’re lucky. But there have been years where the season continues into December and even into January. This depends on how warm late fall and early winter are since the storms feed off of warm water. Cooler air and water weakens them.

Thanks.

That’s why I posted “Wake me up when September ends” in another topic, after the song. XD

And speak of the devil, we have another hurricane on track. Hello, Helene. I’ll see you Thursday and Friday as a tropical storm. Just don’t stall over me!!

I’m not worried about this one. Most of the action is forecast for the western part of the state when it gets here.

oops, coming back because I realize I didn't answer the second part of OP's question

I love fall where I live! September is really still summer here, but we do get our first "cold snap" (90F high and 68F lows) coming out of the triple-digit heat index of humid August. October is when it actually starts to cool down in Central Texas and we have really lovely, beautifully mild weather averaging in the mid-70s. Everyone is outside and our windows are open nearly 24/7. Fall is typically pretty overcast/rainy too as a result of far-blown stormclouds coming off the hurricanes in the gulf, so there are plenty of cozy days with stiff breezes and downpours.

November weather is very variable. Because of its geographical position, Central Texas is often the battleground for cold fronts from the north and warm fronts from the gulf, so you never know what you'll get. It can be 50F one day, 85F the next, and drop to 30F the day after. Growing up, my mom always said that sometimes you wear shorts on Halloween, sometimes you wear a coat - our first freeze can happen anywhere from late October to early December. Typically the leaves change in November and drop by early December. Winter doesn't really start here until late December.

Autumn for me means many things. It's open windows; it's visiting Lost Maples park to see the color changes; it's starting my fall vegetable garden (yes! we can get a second round of crops in the fall); it means celebrating my birthday and now my wedding anniversary; decorating for Halloween and getting way too into carving pumpkins; baking pies for Thanksgiving. Gray days readings books by rainy windows. It's the beautyberries and yaupon hollies full of magenta and red berries, of wild grapes ready for harvesting to turn into wine and jams. It's cooled down enough that I can use my oven again and it's officially soup season once more.

👀 good to know!!
