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

Today's gorgeous!  Cool breezes, moisture, lots of fall color!

 

The Sandias look spectacular.

 

Gotta get this dog out for another walk...

Sweltering in central FL. That is supposed to end in couple of days. I still have a lot of hurricane cleanup to do, so I really need some cooler, drier air.

Re: We Have Had A Perfect Fall Weekend

It's been a great Fall weekend here too.  It's great because there are many outside Fall events this weekend.  Nephew and his wife are at the pumpkin festival with their daughter.  Hubby and I  went out for breakfast and then took a lovely long drive this morning.  Looking at the foliage and how people have decorated their lawns and porches.

@just bee   You forgot to mention the big, black clouds and no sunshine.

Re: We Have Had A Perfect Fall Weekend

It's all about perception. We had a cool day yesterday in the morning with clouds and temperatures in the high 60's or low 70's.

 

Early afternoon the storm blew in, thunder and lightning, and plenty of rain. I loved it.

 

We desperately need the rain in Southern California.

 

Today I ran a few errands and the temperatures were nice and cool and in the 70's.

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.

If I'm not mistaken, the scenes in Field of Dreams that featured Doc "Moonlight" Graham in Chisholm, Minnesota were actually filmed in Galena.

 

It looks like a charming place and I've always wondered why I didn't know about it, growing up in Chicago.

@just bee   I wasn't even aware they did substituted Galena for Chisholm in the movie.  Thanks for the fun fact! Smiley Happy

 

Galena is always a hot spot in the fall...for some it's kind of an annual tradition.  It's a fun drive for leaf peepers & shoppers alike!  Cool, crisp weather, glorious fall color & the quaint mainstreet shops are the cherry on top!

Re: We Have Had A Perfect Fall Weekend

After a 2 year absence, Summerville, WV was geared up for the famous Bridge Day event on Saturday.  Perfect October day for it; sunny, warm, and dry.  

 

370 jumpers signed up and made 1200 jumps off the New River Gorge Bridge; no injuries were reported this year based on the news last night.  Crowds were huge; there was a jumper from Brazil, and one from Australia, who say they will definitely be back.  Spectators from FL, GA, PA, TX, OH, and TN were interviewed and were loving every minute of the big event.  

WV appreciates those tourism dollars!!
