Out come the Fall and maybe Winter clothes. A cold front breezed through mid day yesterday. I feel much more energized, although my sleep is all off. Some of my sleep issues are from Bob getting up at night. I have a notion to cook and bake. The last month or so I have not wanted to at all. However, for some of the food that I want to cook I need a grocery store run. I need some bell peppers to cook with. Hubby is taking Coleslaw to the potluck we will have at church tomorrow. More like a potluck. I think it is a hot dog roast. We are supposed to have the service outdoors as well. Meanwhile, we turned on the heated mattress pad. I am going to put more blankets on the bed as well as maybe the flannel sheets. I am heading out the door for errands right away, including buying the cabbage and bell peppers. I have on leggings, a long top and a cozy sweater. It feels good.

I contemplated turning the heat on this morning, chastised myself, and put on extra clothes instead. I am glad to hear you are enjoying fall weather like I am.

It is October 17th as I write this and so far the heat has not been turned on yet. Going to hold out for as long as possible.

It's a little cooler here but not cold enough for sweaters as yet. Don't laugh too hard but this morning (here) its kinda cold, it's 66f at 10am and this afternoon it'll be 80f, to me that's fall weather, I can't were my tank tops anymore so I'm searching for my short sleeve tshirts. I won't see too many 90s anymore but hopefully the 70s and 80s will stay with us til end of December.

@rebelann I am just cold-blooded, as some here may attest.

I have broken out my sweat jackets. During the colder months I live in them.

So far I am still holding out. I thought I'd turn it on last night before the wifey came home, but it was 69, we have a couple space heaters going, and she was fine with me leaving it off. Holding out for as long as we can.

Yep. I am back to pants and sweaters since about a week or two ago. Once they come out they don't go back for a while. Oh well. I guess let's just get this winter started so we can be done with it again.

I think "warming up" is now something we won't see again until Spring.

I think that we share the same frame of fashion mind today. I am also wearing leggings, a 3/4 length sleeved top and a long sweater over it. I put my summer capris, slacks, tops and blouses away in the cedar chest last weekend, and took out the mock turtlenecks and the plaid pants that I so love to wear during the colder months.

You seem to be getting ready to welcome the cold weather. Autumn is there and soon you will have winter. We had some rain in the afternoon and now it's cool and pleasant. Enjoy your potluck at Church
