Many people love autumn and that is for many reasons. It can also be a depressing time if people think about the negative instead of the positive. This is a simple poll that focuses on the positive, however. The interest is in what people think about the fall.

I love the weather and the gorgeous colorful trees.
I do too, though it is often a prelude to the cold weather of winter. I spent most of the last four days doing yard work for an amazingly spry elderly lady in preparation for the winter. Yesterday, I trimmed back all of her thornless blackberries.
That picture is gorgeous! Anc that’s why I love autumn 😀
Yes, the colors are fantastic. I sometimes wish that they’d last a little longer, but that is up to God.
I like the spring and the beginning of autumn, when it’s still warm. Rain, snow and cold weather I do not like and I can not wait for such weather to pass. Still, I have to admit that only autumn can paint nature with such magical colors.
It can definitely be pretty. This year, though, we had a very soggy spring. We’d get a sunny day, then that would be followed by three days of rain. It finally started drying out in early July.
The leaves is about the only thing I like because for me it means cold, and I don`t like cold.
Just remember that it is all relative. Your cold would be warm here in Montana. “Cold” doesn’t really start until temperatures drop below zero here.
I love all the fall colored leaves.
I do, too, though I wish ours would stick around a little longer. Usually, about the time the leaves on all the deciduous trees have changed color, they start falling and within a few days, they are gone.
I like the fall from the gentle rain, it brightens the yellow of the leaves.
I can understand that. We’ve had a few rainy days so far, but the leaves are just beginning to change color.
Right now nothing is the same here in Florida. I am still in eternal summer and I miss the changing colors of the autumn.
That is one of the advantages or disadvantages (depending on viewpoint) of Florida. I have a cousin who grew up in Orlando when I lived at Crater Lake. On Christmas, we’d have 15-foot snowbanks and snow would be falling, while she would be wearing a bikini and enjoying the beach, with temperatures in the 80’s. By that time of year, the warmth sounded wonderful to me and the snow sounded terrific to her. LOL
An interesting title. Does the Ides (i.e. the 15th) mark the beginning of Autumn where you live?
No, but that is when it starts becoming the most noticeable. By late September in normal years, the hot days are over, but it still gets up to room temperature outside on most days. By the middle of October, the weather becomes unsettled and the leaves start changing color and falling from trees. A month later, we normally have snow on the ground.
That is ‘normal’ years here. Eight of the last nine years, cold weather has arrived earlier than normal and lingers longer than normal in the spring. The first frost this year happened about 2 1/2 weeks ago and we’ve had three more since then. That is about a month early. The warmer weather this year didn’t actually start until July and it usually starts in May. The cool, wet spring, coupled with another above average snowpack lead to flooding throughout the state until it warmed up and dried out.
I like several things, the weather, football, the leaves.
I like a lot of things about every season, but the question is what do you like *most* about the fall. LOL
I like the colors changing….but that is about it, I am not a fan of the cold…or the winter that shortly follows
I like the cold of winter less as I grow older, but having lived in places with bitter winters all my life, I tend to just take it with the flow.
Yeah, same here…you just get used to it kind of, even if you don’t like it all that much.
Oh I love Autumn. I can never decide which I prefer, Autumn or Spring! They are both beautiful seasons. I like Autumn because of the lovely colours when the trees change. It’s such a pretty season.
I very much love the spring. However, I’ve lived in places that got nearly unbearably hot during the summer. It is hard to sleep at night when it is still in the high 90s F. In the fall, the days are often still hot but I love it when the nights cool down to a reasonable point.
Well done! Nice post!
