A Slight Reprieve

August 23, 2012 by Elaine

There have been just a few little signs that Fall is on the way around here lately.

I know.

I can’t believe it either.

I mean, this is SOUTH Louisiana after all.

But today I found the temperatures in the earlier part of the day to be quite pleasant and I went to get the mail and did not start dripping sweat on the way back up the driveway.

Amazing.

And I sat outside comfortably in the middle of the day while K played in the screened-in porch and I didn’t want to die.

More amazing.

There are signs that it is still Summer of course though too.  And…

     

…I’m sure now that I’ve typed this other stuff about loving the weather that next week will be horrendous again but today was pretty beautiful so I’m holding on to that for now.

    I have been so in love with the weather here in Ohio! It feels like September. And you’re right, next week will probably have us all closed up in AC because of the heat but I’m with you. I love this weather.

    BEAUTIFUL pics. As always. <3

    I love Fall colors. I’m petty sure I said it last year right here when you had gorgeous pictures of it 🙂

    Pretty pictures!

    It’s been much milder lately here in Michigan. High 70’s, low 80’s. The mornings have been chilly though…50 degrees. Brr. That tells me fall is on it’s way.

    Temps are starting to fall here in Boston and I love it, fall and winter are my favorite!

    Gorgeous pictures!
    I am just starting to feel like fall is coming. I think mostly because of the school shopping and cooler nights. 🙂

    We’re in the 90’s again today, but I don’t mind. It won’t be long now and we’ll all be freezing cold buried in snow. Gotta love Minnesota!

    We had some morning 50’s this week! Fall is on it’s way, so keep that camera handy, girl. 🙂

    That’s what I hear. I have been seeing a few people sharing those luscious yellow leaves & so wish I had here.

    We have had a break in the weather too and it has been wonderful. We have been able to drive with the music up and the windows down (something my girls and I love to do).
    Love all of your photos. I really need to get my camera back out. I got so lazy over the summer and just used my phone.

    Oh, it’s the best of both worlds! Love!

    {And your photography is as stunning as always! Love!}

    This break in the temp has been so nice! I’ve been able to walk a little bit later when I’m actually awake! Beautiful photos today!

    I’m loving our cooler weather, although this next week will warm up to 90 again. Our leaves are starting to turn and I’m getting excited to see all the beautiful colors!

    That flower is so pretty!

    Pretty pictures! I am just about done with the heavy humidity in Michigan and the hot temps but I have to say the evenings have been beautiful! Cool and breezy! If only it could be like this every day! 🙂
