@HazySue exactly.

I don't mind spring either but it's usually that time of the year when you can't decide what to wear. Either too hot to wear a jacket or too cold to be wearing plain shirt

I call it seesaw ..... we'll get a few days of cool weather then it'll be hot again for a few days, this seesaw climate lasts for a couple months and it occurs twice a year. In the past, I'm stressing past because it seems this year has proven that things aren't going to be the same, we'd get one really cold month for our winter and at least 5 months of really hot for summer. This past February we were already starting our spring weather, highly unusual and this has been a strange August and September so far, much wetter than usual ... I'm not complaining mind you, we needed the rain. I just wonder what this late seesaw is going to produce, hot, warm, cool or downright cold.

@rebelann and a very nice post it is. You must be working too hard. I do know what you mean though. would love for the weather to get back to normal when we had less summer, more fall, and so forth.

In our area of Ontario, we usually refer to it as autumn, when speaking of the season, but if we're referring to back to school, it seems like people are more apt to call it fall-go figure, it has to be a local thing I think!

@Juliaacv I guess it is a local thing. I do remember seeing signs saying "Fall Savings".

I generally call it Fall, but I may interchange it depending on what I'm talking about. Fall is easier since it's only one syllable, lol.

Growing up I remember learning about summer, fall, winter, spring and that has always stuck with me.

@MarshaMusselman when I think of Fall I think of someone or something falli9ng. When I think of Autumn I think of the beautiful colors of the leaves.

I will call it a Giant Relief! Long hot, dry summers here. I usually call it Fall, just old habit.

@CinnamonGrl I like the way the word Autumn sounds. I'm with you on calling it a great relief. Out with the hot in with the cool, hopefully.

I call it my second to most hated season, because it means winter is next.

That's interesting - I thought all you Americans called it Fall. To us English it's Autumn, of course.

"autumn" 'tis jest always seemed more romantic to me. back'n the hills 'f tennessee such t'was a spectacular time 'f year 's all the trees'd change to their autumn splendor with splashes 'f reds, burgundies, fiery oranges, pale peach 'n strikin' gold 'd blend, then highlight the greens 'f the pines 'n other e'ergreens.

I've always called it Autumn as is said in India. It was only after interacting online from a few years ago that I came to know it's also called Fall. I'm looking forward to it too

I have always called it fall and I worked in garden centers for many years and never heard anyone call it autumn. I did remember the song Autumn Leaves.
