Not a fitness comment here. But I always feel a bit like I'm in limbo in September. Not really summer, not yet fall. At least where I live...

There's football on TV. I feel obligated to make chili. But I really just want an umbrella drink out on the deck.

I can still run around in flip-flops. But now sometimes I have to wear a sweatshirt too.

My garden looks the best it's looked all summer. Colorful. Healthy. I think the cooler nights help. But the garden stores are all pushing pumpkins right now.

Sometimes in the mornings I want to turn on the heat. But by noon it's hot enough for the air conditioning.

I went shopping for a bathing suit the other day. HAHAHA. Good luck schlepping through the Christmas sweaters and snuggy boots for that!!

Somehow the flamingo sheets on my bed look a little sad against the changing leaves outside my bedroom window.

The rain now feels damp. Not refreshing. Not a relief. Just damp...

I'm tired of the light floral fragrances I wear in July. But not yet ready for the spicy vanilla-y ones I like in the winter....

There. Got that off my chest. :neutral:

    It’s so cold where I am and all the trees are changing. I love it! But this was the shortest summer we’ve had in a long while.

    As a New Englander, I feel the pain. It's cold in the morning but hot by time I get out of work. Sometimes the reverse is true. I have lost 60 lbs since April so some of my clothes don't fit the same. I want to light the grill this weekend while I'm looking at flights for Thanksgiving. Oh and then daylight saving time. Boo, hiss.

    It’s still 1000 degrees here.

    998 degrees with the windchill factor.

    I’m scouting out real estate with frozen tundra.....

    Funny how that works. Here (in South Africa) Spring day is 1st September. August is gusty and then September comes and bam! Winter is over. Summer is here. My kids are already swimming
