Officially, the first day of Fall is the next September 23rd, the day of the autumnal equinox. The Summer 2015 has been too hot and humid, but it did not last long. This morning is grey and drizzly, I can feel the smell of the autumn in the air. Yesterday, in our country, the grape harvest has started. Soon the sweet, smell of the wine must will fill the air. The last days of September it's wine tasting in our area. It's an occasion to meet the neighbors at the wineries for a glass of wine and cheese tasting. Do you like a glass of wine with your food?

We were just discussing this morning how much wood we will need to get through the winter. I gotta get my boys out chopping.

I have seen today a big truck delivering wood to our neighbors. Winter is just around the corner.

It has been way to hot where I live, and not having ac has been really hard. I have had to use fans to try to keep cool. I would open all the windows and blinds at night, put the fans in the windows, turn them on to cool the house down. It has been tough too, as it has been steamy in here at times. It is hot outside right now, but I have managed to keep it cool in here. I take the fans out, close the windows and curtains. I have been doing this since June, and I am tired of doing it. Hopefully, this is the last of it.

We do not have AC because in our country the hot weather only lasts a couple of week. This year has bee terribly hot and humid, not the kind of weather I like.

@LadyDuck I don't mind the heat, but not when it gets over 90. That is way to hot. We did have some days that got over 100, and I was just miserable. We are supposed to cool way down after this weekedn, so that will be good.

I do! Your post caused me to wonder how the grape harvest in California is going this year. Severe drought and wild fires have afflicted that area. Now I must go look...

We had more defined seasons in the past, but we still have four seasons.
