Fall has definitely arrived, Arlene! We actually dipped into the 40′s over the past weekend, but jumped right back into the 60′s and 70′s during the day. It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy the warmth of the sun during the day, and then curl up under a blanket in the evenings with a book and a mug of steaming coffee! Mmmmm….heaven!

Lisa, I agree!! I really believe us Floridians NEED our winters, brief and mild as they may be. I know that by September, I’m questioning WHY I even live here! Just 3 days of 50 degree temps and I remember! =)

Arlene, one of my favorite things is to open the windows at night when I’m going to bed. I love the sounds of nature right outside my window!

Hazem, it is much better now for outdoor activities! I don’t know how you run/ride in the summer heat, although going early makes a big difference.

You’re right, Jenn and Juliette! I realized that not long after moving to Florida, and have adjusted to summers being my “indoor” season. At least for the better part of the day! This is the time of year that I can really enjoy my outdoor activities.

I’m thankful for the change of seasons, too. I don’t mind winter. It’s makes me appreciate summer even more.

Sounds like fall has arrived in Florida. I love sitting by the fire and snuggling with my dogs or reading. It’s such a nice time of year to ride too. Everything is just so much better with cooler weather.

I love This weather, it’s better to ride & run in cold weather.
I am thankful for health, work & friends.
Without them I doubt anyone can survive.
Thank you Michelle,

It has been perfect here, hasn’t it!! Love being able to turn off electric and open up the sliders.

I echo what Juliette said – we are all stuck inside sometime! Being back in FL right now, after spending the fall in Vermont, makes me feel like I get to enjoy fall all over again! It has gotten a bit warmer up here, on the first coast, but last week was beautiful!

Wonderful images! I spent 1988 in Tampa – USF required that you take one summer semester to use the buildings. I was hot and relieved when September came for the cooldown. It is really funny about the weather and riding or doing anything outside. We have months that we are stuck inside up here in PA with the heat blasting. You guys are stuck inside in the summer with the air conditioning blasting! We all are stuck inside some times. Welcome back outside!!! Enjoy your real fall now!
