So far, it's more of the same as most of the summer--chilly and damp.

I caved today, am wearing tights for the first time in about 5 months.

Chillier, I think. We've had to run the furnace this week, which we hadn't before. Otherwise, yeah, pretty dreary recently.

It's way too cold way too early. We usually target the beginning of November to have our wood in & stacked. Instead, we spent yesterday afternoon splitting, and today TJ put up a makeshift woodshed and stacked it all near the house. Some times it's nice to have a fire in the woodstove here or there this time of year, just to take the chill off. It's been burning nonstop for the last 3 days.

I'm hoping against hope for some Indian summer, because it's going to be a long, cold winter starting this early.

It's cold and way too early on the West Coast as well. Our heat was on last night when i got home and I didn't find it too hot. Fall is here with a vengeance.

Nearly 80 and sunny here, But I don't mind because the air has changed: it's definitely fall.

(By the way, for those of you who may not know, October is one of the best times to visit, weatherwise.)

It is 60 degrees F in my apartment. Truly -- I have a refrigerator thermometer sitting on a file cabinet smack in the middle. Bracing. But it helped me stay up for two all-nighters this week. And I finally spread out my new quilt for last night, so at least sleeping is toasty. That Rachael Ray, she sews a nice quilt.

The heat came on this morning. I had to turn off the radiator in the living room, as we still need to move all of the plants sitting on the windowsill (plus we have to find a home for Godzilla, the 8-foot tall tomato plant).

My heat came on this morning. Really unnecessary. Can't be helped I suppose but coupled with the need to keep all windows shut 9-6 due to masonry restoration it means I have to run one a/c at 72-74 to keep the apartment from turning into a hotbox.

I've got a weekly gig in Westport CT and the drives are beginning to be pretty darn glorious.

[foodie52]

Yep. The high 80's are back. Just turned on the AC. I'm a little tired of this.

N and I are going up to the Hudson Valley next Saturday on an apple-picking excursion with her church; I'm hoping we hit the leaves near their peak.

Tonight on the far west side the high-clouded sunset made for a subtle, very autumnal, sky. Not dark at all but somehow moody, almost grisaille, with slight streaks of pink against the palest blue, the whole topped with wispy clouds. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Lucky impulse to take a walk on the High Line this evening.

[Pingarina]

Yes, the last couple of days and evenings have been really lovely.



But I'm working with an all-Mexican crew, and once it dips below 70 degrees, everyone starts shivering and quailing "...ayy, fffrio, it's getting so cheely..." Oh please, chicos.
