Hey magickbean, Ya I have zero tolerance for the heat or sun. I usually don't turn my heat on until late November, I don't care for it to be any higher then 65 in my house. I like the cold, although with my Arthritis its hard living here cause the dampness drives it crazy. I love the snow, and I love going for both walks and drives in it, but I don't care for all the black Ice we get here, that's what sucks. But over all its still a gorgous season, well the only season I don't care to much for is summer, but love Fall Winter and Spring

I love the Fall and Spring too. Summer is too hot - especially in the Southern part of Colorado where I live. For those of you in Arizona I sure don't envy your summers.

I miss autumn in New England and would LOVE to come visit our lovely friends across the pond...Canada too! I'm afraid to fly so it's a bit of a problem but maybe someday.

Magickbean:

This may be a silly question, but have you been to Lanark, Scotland? I have lots of family there...as I recall, the last time I was there in October of '93 the weather was sunny and warm-quite unusual-and come to think of it, there were no halloween decorations or mention of it anywhere.

DOD - totally agree with the seasons thing

I'm so sorry to hear that you suffer from arthritis - quite a few of my family get that pretty bad

Have you tried one of those copper magnetic braclets? My mum swears by hers.

JadedFrySon - I am ashamed to say that I haven't yet got chance to visit Scotland. I should be going to Edinburgh next summer though, as part of the comedy festival. I'm not sure how they celebrate Halloween, but I know that they have a very strong pagan/druid community up there so there must be some people that carve Jack O'Lanterns and such!

Cool enough for a jacket and overcast here today.

YIPPEE!!!

Thunderstorms are forecast in my area for Tuesday, Oct. 16. Ah, beautiful music to my ears!

Fall colors depend on weather changes.

That sounds very interesting. Somehow I managed to develop an interest in the old world religeons that the Catholics have tried to beat down through the centuries. Now they seem to be on the rebound.
