Signs of fall. What signs have you seen that summer is over? I had

[applegrove]

to close my window (sniff! Not more cricket sounds) because it was too cold!:banghead:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. It's cooling off at night and the asters are starting to bloom.

[GoCubsGo]

2. None.

It was 99 degrees here again. I suppose the shorter days are a sign, but that's it. There are brown leaves on the ground, but we're in a severe drought. Wish we had the "too cold" problem here.

[Brigid]

3. The locusts are singing at night.

Not quite cool enough to open the windows yet, though.

[cyglet]

4. The state fair

And it's not so humid anymore...

[elleng]

5. Not COLD, but does appear to be cooling off.

[RebelOne]

15. Not cooling off here in North Georgia.

The temperatures are still in the middle to high 90s.

[elleng]

17. Guess not; 74 here in MD DC suburbs;

going to Philly for daughter's wedding Friday: NO SWEAT!!!
:hi:

[pscot]

6. Morning fog and a heavy fall of dew

as teh temperature drops sharply at night. Plus there seems to be some weather moving in off the Pacific. It feels like summer is over.

[fizzgig]

7. no real ones yet

it felt like it might be cooling off and it was getting chilly in the wee hours, but it's been it the 90s for a week now x(

[Odin2005]

8. No signs of fall yet in Fargo.

[raccoon]

9. The morning glories are blooming. And Saturday I saw some goldenrod in bloom. nt

[kick-ass-bob]

10. All the leaves blew off the tree on Saturday.

Oh wait, that's not what that meant.

[Iggo]

11. The females have started wearing sensible shoes.

The short shorts will surely disappear next.

Sad. Very sad.

[Denninmi]

12. My pumpkins are all turning orange.

And, I harvested the last of my sweet corn Saturday and put it in the freezer. That always makes me feel like the party is over.

[sarge43]

13. The maples and birches are turning already.

Seriously thinking about plugging in the heated mattress pad.

Digging out the winter clothes.

Looks like the hummingbirds are packing their bags.

The only flowers left are a few cone flowers, wild asters and the phlox.

[hobbit709]

14. What fall 110° two days in a row.

[Brickbat]

16. The fireweed is almost done blooming. When it blooms to the top, summer is over.

[MissHoneychurch]

18. The first chestnuts on the ground

Damn, it is still August ... way too early for chestnuts :mad:

[Denninmi]

21. I need to figure out how to keep mine.

I planted some trees about 6-8 years ago. They have had a small handfull the past 2 years, but the squirrels take them before they fall from the husks. This year, there look to be enough that I'd get several pounds of nuts -- the trees are now about 8-10 feet tall, I'd say.

How, though, am I going to keep the squirrels away?

[av8rdave]

19. Fewer fireflies in the evening

[zanana1]

20. I saw some geese flying south.

It's a beautiful sight, but kinda sad.

[Bombero1956]

22. leaves changing color

Our neighbor's silver maple has orange leaves near the top. Of course the stores near me already have their Halloween candy display up and some Thanksgiving decorations up too. When I was a kid that didn't happen until late September early October. Then again the Hallmark store had Christmas ornaments up in late July. What the hell is the rush?

[Shagbark Hickory]

23. The rain has completely stopped forever. nm

[stuntcat]

24. the frickin acorns

they really are too much.. impossible to rake, hurt like hell to step on. I really REALLY do not like the acorns.

We can still keep all the windows open so that's cool.. like literally, cool n' breezy :D
