Default Re: Time for the annual I HATE FALL Thread

*sigh*
You people have seasons. Here in relentlessly sunny Southern California, we have Fire Season and what passes for winter, which is rain. There is no "fall." Sure the temperature drops a bit, plunging all the way to the 70's, but it's not quite that crisp, can't wait to have cocoa of my New England childhood. There's no color here, either, unless you count the status quo green. We have a huge amount of jade plant in front of our house that actually has the effrontery to *bloom* in December. Where else on earth do little white flowers bloom at that time of year?

When the kids were young, dressing them for school was difficult for everyone. They'd need a jacket or sweater for the trek to the bus stop in the morning...but it would be in the 80's when they got out of school. They'd come home sweating with the jacket or sweater tied around their waists.

Once you've seen New England in the fall, it pretty much ruins the season if you're anywhere else.
