Both yesterday and today, sunny, blue sky, crisp air  and breezy.  The leaves, while not 100% changed, are spectacular.

When DD and I ran errands yesterday we took the long(er) way home so we could just enjoy the day and look at the leaves.

I just got back from running to Dunkin.  I didn't need to go but it is a great day for a ride.  We won't have a lot of days like this again.

If I had a good back, and a safe place to walk, I would have gone for a long stroll. 

Who else had a great fall weekend?

Same here in NE Iowa.  Went to Galena, IL with my sister yesterday (so did everyone else evidently)...people everywhere.  We shopped all the little shops on Main Street til dark.  It was sunny and low 60's.  Color is outstanding on the trees this year.  My mom always called them "Soul" days.  Not as nice today, cloudy, windy & 50 degrees.  Enjoy these days while they last.  I think we get down to 20 tonight with highs in the 40's the next few days.

@PJinIA   I know spending time out in this weather is good for the old mental health.  The gallon of gas ($3.89) we used is cheaper than a therapist.  LOL

It's a beautiful fall day in western WA.  This is my favorite season.

We had a beautiful, perfect 75° fall day yesterday but last night it all fell apart.  The wind started blowing we had rain and distant continuous thunder for hours and the temperature plummeted.

All of this would be fine except I have no heat.  I have to have a plumbing company worker come and shut down my evaporative cooler which is on the roof, and turn on my heat.  My appointment is this coming Wednesday. Thank goodness for my trusty Dyson fan/heater (love).  It'll make my bedroom toasty warm.

This weekend in Arizona has been fantastic. Yesterday it was cloudy, rainy thundered and lightning most of the day. Today is cooler (it's only 70 and it's 11:00) and very enjoyable. Will be sitting outside by the firepit a little later enjoying some wine and snacks. Nice not to hear the a/c running all day and summer is gone.

It is perfect here in the southern tier of NY. Cool, sunny and the leaves are gorgeous ! 🍁🍂🍁

@Meowingkitty    What a relief it must be after the summer you've had.  We must have had the same storm but you got it earlier.

No, no.  We call that an improvement.

@just bee    Okay, if you say so but I was hoping we would have fall this year.  I guess last week was it.
