Ah yes, and that's -40 BEFORE the windchill factor! Last year someone cut the cord off my block heater and I couldn't get my car started! I was out there with frozen white fingers fixing it when it was -40! Good ol' prairie winters!

Another reason that I'm not as impressed with fall is that we don't have hardly any color change here. The trees go from green to frostbit and lose their leaves or they are evergreens.

Fall in Texas doesn't sound good at all in that case Marilyn. It is so pretty here in the fall....just breathtaking.

My favorite season has always been fall!
I'll describe the wonders of autumn for me; the smell of wood burning, the smell and sound of the crisp leaves beneath you, smelling and eating pecan/pumpkin pies, apple ciders, the colors on the trees (especially in New England!!!!) getting to take out and wear cute scarves, hay rides, apple orchirds, pumpkin carving, hot creamy chunky tomato soup, potato soup, Halloween (my favorite holiday), mine and my husbands birthdays, popcorn balls, maple syrup, windows open letting the fresh air in and cooling you as you sleep, snuggling up and watching football with hubby, cute boots and jackets, Thanksgiving (this one will be special, it's my first as a vegetarian) I hate the heat. ![]() |

Backy, thank you so much for the pictures!! They are beautiful. Would love to see in person. One year, Rex and I flew to Roanoke, VA and drove a car back to Texas in the fall. We didn't go through when there was full color, but got a hint of what you experience, from the interstate, that is.
I'll try to take some pics of what color change we do have. There is one tree, a Chinese tallow. They are very messy trees, make a stickery waxy berry, but in the fall, they do change color. That's about the only tree that does, and due to their berries, not too many people encourage their growth.
