Fall in Colorado. Please hurry!
It happens about this time every year. By mid August, I'm sick of the heat and ready for some cooler weather.
So go on, summer! Git!!!
Fall here in Colorado is absolutely perfect. It's cool but neither cold nor hot. When you get up in the morning you can sit outside without cooking like a sausage on the grill. You might even need a jacket which for some odd reason makes coffee taste better when sitting outside. And if we're lucky, we'll get one nice snowfall near the end of October that looks beautiful and then quickly melts away before it becomes a nuisance.
Fall also means more chances to get into the mountains without all the Denver hipsters crowding up the roads and trails. And this seems like the year to get away for a few long weekends and experience some places we've not been to before. All things considered, there's no point in waiting. Better get to it because no one knows what next year will bring.
What's fall like in your part of the world?

Summer has been so long and hot, I can't remember. Got licenses for turkey and javelina, so I will find out. Maybe some ducks come winter, I can't remember that either.

I do miss the beautiful golden Falls of Colorado, with the crisp air and excitement of the quickly changing season.
I DON’T, however, miss all the vagrants and homeless/druggie camps everywhere, or running into sketchy people on the trails with my family. We’ve lived in a lot of big cities, but I felt the need to carry in Colorado Springs as much as any of them.

Fall just started here in Western Ohio. The leaves are turning and just starting to drop. The temperatures are pleasant and the skies are cloudy and there is a nip in the air. My favorite time of the year.

here at 70 degrees North, 150 degrees west, it is 34 degrees today 20-Aug, and tundra grasses are quickly turning brown, most of the caribou have headed out on their migration, the multiple grizzlies in the area are feeding voraciously on anything they can, killing a few caribou singles that remain and competing with Arctic foxes for rotten goose, duck, swan eggs that didn’t hatch.

September will be filled with perch fishing trips on Erie if the wind cooperates.
October is the beginning of archery season, which gives us the opportunity to refill the freezer with venison.
The last week of October is going be one of my favorite memories, as I will be retiring on the 30th.
So, yes, I am anxiously awaiting fall.

Fall in Illinois is beautiful with brilliant orange, red, yellow and brown colors mixed in. Only problem is, after 3 weeks and the cold rains and wind knock all the leaves off, it looks like Chernobyl in Russia. lol.
My favorite time of the year is spring when everything is turning that new fresh green color.6 -
I left Buena Vista CO yesterday morning at 45* and that was great. Woke up this morning in MO @ 75* and broke a sweat doing chores. I'm not complaining about summer in CO.
