I had the a/c on just last week, so am holding off on the heat for the moment ... even opening the patio door for the last bursts of fresh (warm?) air.

I smiled at what you wrote about tights, as earlier today I was thinking that it was time to find some socks. However, the brilliant sunshine convinced me to wait another day, or two.<br /><br />It was a grand day for a walk. Yesterday's visit to the farmers market sent me home with some beautiful little apples picked this season, rather than peaches, whose season I do believe has now concluded.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-49189001282649135962013-09-15T22:59:32.792+01:002013-09-15T22:59:32.792+01:00Seems silly, here we are heading into Spring, wet ...Seems silly, here we are heading into Spring, wet and damp and lovely.

I don't like parting with summer but once autumn arrives I quite like drawing the curtains early and settling down to a relaxing evening reading, sewing or viewing, and it's the perfect excuse to cook tasty casseroles with winter veggies.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-37081614142410556522013-09-15T16:07:17.217+01:002013-09-15T16:07:17.217+01:00Just the colours really and boots I suppose...I do...Just the colours really and boots I suppose...I do love boots!
