    Default Don't know what's gotten into me!!!!

    I think it must be the weather lately.... i spent the week-end making pickles, cutting out PJ bottoms,
    and thinking of Fall! I know it is still August but for some reason i have switched into everything for the upcoming cold season. What is WRONG
    with me???? I still have two twin quilts to finish and hear i am getting way ahead of myself! I LOVE summer and having the kids
    hear swimming but it hasn't been in the 90's this week and it has thrown me all off. Is it just me or is this happening to you too???LOL

    Suzi, our local fair is the long weekend of Sept. and school starts in two weeks. Yes fall is coming too soon.
    Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!

    I live in the dessert, in Las Vegas. I always loved summer but now I hate it because it's just too hot here. You can't do anything outside without nearly passing out from the heat. I don't care about what people say, "It's DRY heat." To me that makes absolutely no difference at all. There are days in the summer when I step outside and I can hardly breath. And getting in the car? Forget it!! Yes, I do have AC in my car but it does take a few minutes to kick in. So if you go anywhere in the middle of the day, you're car is unbearable. Some of the stores are starting to sell their fall clothes, sweaters, long sleeves, turtle necks. No thank you!! It's still 108 degrees here and I can't even imagine putting a sweater or a turtle neck on!

    Anyways, that's my whine to now.

    I'm in Northern NM and were in the 100's also with promise of rain that never comes!!!! I like fall and spring. Not really ready for winter. Schools just started up again.

    Yes, I have been doing my fall nesting, too! (no, I am too old for that pregnancy nesting phase!) The cooler temps this week, along with the advent of school beginning very soon, has gotten me in the mood for one last session of deep cleaning. I think this productive surge is fantastic, but I am exhausted this p.m. from it all....plus the long shopping day yesterday with DD. I hope this winter won't be as extreme as this summer has been for us....but bring on fall with the cooler nights to open windows while sleeping, light sweaters, and yes, even the routine of school!

    I know what you mean.. this summers heat has been really great and having so much company has been fun but i think
    i am just ready for some structure and cooler nights with the windows open. I am not ready for the cold..just temps so you can get a good nights sleep
    without the fan or air blasting!

    I love fall - it's my favorite season, all the gorgeous colors, warm days and cool nights. The cooler weather here is beginning to feel like fall. When I get my mom's quilt finished I'm going to start working on some fall things for the house. I'm taking a quilting class on Saturday and the project is a fall quilt.

    Well, jimminy crickets - there is even halloween candy out. Labor Day isn't even here yet. I think with all the stuff we see for the upcoming season, it's no wonder our brains get in the mood. As for me, I could use another 2 1/2 months off. Wish I were rich enough to retire. We start back to school on the 28th.

    School here started last week and Hobby Lobby is already putting their Christmas Trees out. Its no wonder we are thinking fall. Although here the weather is not no where near fall weather. I believe our heat index today was 112, going outside with this head cold is a real killer.
