    Sure signs of autumn around here ... lawn bags filled with leaves on the curb on trash day, or a sign announcing the start of leaf collection. Corollary: when the air smells like burnt leaves. When the heat really needs to be on. When I start wearing sweaters. When it's windy, cold and rainy all at the same time. It's dark out when I leave for work and when I get home.

    Good signs of autumn ... football! Chili! Sweater weather! Raking leaves! Hayrack rides!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    While I could never bring myself to hunt, the preparation and announcement of deer season is when I know the seasons are starting to change. And when I have to finally turn in the flip flops for the year and switch to boots... and sweaters! And when I no longer have to worry about shaving legs and having nice hair because jeans and a hat will solve all of that. I think I just summed up the colder months as my lazy season.

    The hunting gear comes out pretty early in my family..but I'd say when I take a hike and see all the beautiful colors! We're supposed to get our first snowfall tonight.

    I would say the warmer weather but not this year. Coldest November in about 19 years lol. And we still have at least another week of cool temps.

    When I replaced my cotton sheets to my flannel sheets was a sign for me that the colder weather is here which I love by the way. Also the leaves falling gave me my first hint that Fall and Winter were on it's way. Today we even had snow showers but of course nothing stuck to the ground, thank goodness, not ready for the S word yet

    My favorite Season is Autumn, I just love it and don't mind Winter either altho I don't like snow and ice. The cold weather doesn't bother me tho.

    I first notice the shorter daylight hours that signal Winter is coming. The sunlight, when we get it, shines directly through my kitchen
    windows. It creates a nice warm spot for kitties sunbath. I used to keep several blankets layed out on that spot for my kitties & they loved
    it. Joey, my one cat left, doesn't seem to seek out the sun like the others did.
