What says the change of season to you besides weather?

With several days of 100 F in September I don’t always feel the change of season by the weather. What says fall to me is (American) football. College or pro, I love it all, and in the second week I am so enjoying it. That is what says change of (this) season to me (and not this is not an invitation for a few of you who like to rail against the salaries of pro athletes to go on and on about it.) What is it to you? Is it shorter days? Better or worse allergies? What says change of season to you other than the weather?

I love autumn, even if the days are shorter. The temperature is cool enough to enjoy walking, less pollen and beautiful fall colors.

I am so with you, Anna. It takes until November for it to cool down, but when it does, Sadie and I enjoy our walks so much more. And my electricity bill finally goes down. The beauty of the foliage starts to really hit too.

@AmbiePam - This morning was still too warm to enjoy walking. I only walked a couple of mind because of an appointment and I was sweating. From tomorrow it cools down.

Football, mums, falling leaves. . . I'm not a fan of fall because that means it is back to work and winter is on the way. You know me--I love me some summer.

The only thing I appreciate about summer is that I know it makes you happy.

I absolutely love this time of the year, and although it is a sudden change from hot to cooler, the payoff is so much more for me. We can enjoy the beautiful autumn colours and scents in nature the different fruits and vegetables in season, and it is nice to change out to the autumn wardrobe. Speaking of which.....I need to change my summer purse for my brown autumn one.

Putting away summer clothes and accessories for fall and winter is another good example.

Mostly with just sitting here on the PC I guess it would be looking at the temp showing up and hopeing it will go down, For now still in the 80s still humid and still need AC.

Football does represent the arrival of Fall as much as Baseball does the Springtime. Now that Fall will officially be here tomorrow all the leaves will start turning and that's always beautiful to witness. And it also means the holidays aren't that far away.

In general,or in Autumn? Because in Autumn to me,the rust and gold changes in the leaves, they're beautiful.

Shorter days. When days become shorter, I realise that winter is round the corner. When temperature falls, it means the summer is over and rainy season is knocking at the door.

My answer to your question is that I truly look forward to the beautiful fall colors. I know the colors are intensified from the weather, but in the Fall nature really puts on an incredibly beautiful display of colors. I enjoy that so much.along with not being too hot or too cold!

Football does it for me too, theres just something about sundays that feels different once the season starts. For me its also the shorter days, i notice it more than the temperature honestly.
