Fall made its grand entrance in Florida a few days ago with a cooler than usual cold snap. The skies are clear blue, the air is brisk and overall it’s a glorious day. Some might call it football weather.
The weekend temps were down in the 40s & 50s at night and barely reached 70 degrees with a steady breeze during the day sans humidity. We opened up the house and let the fresh air blow through during the day. I made a huge pot of chili – the first of the season. Hot chocolate and hot apple cider were consumed. We put blankets on the beds. The heat came on during the night. I used my extra hour from Daylight Savings Time to snuggle in bed and read my book. Absolutely wonderful!
If my foot was healed I would have been at Myakka State Park walking the trails, snapping photos, and watching the wildlife.
This type of cool weather from the north is such a treat after living in the extremes of stuffy indoor air conditioning and hot & humid outside weather. However, the temps are already beginning to warm up to the more typically seasonal temps of the high 70s and may reach 80 degrees by the end of the week. That’s ok. Autumn is here… Florida style and I love it.

We hit 32 the last 2 nights, and 60 during the day. Finally some nice cold weather. Trick or Treating when it's warm just isn't right. Oh well, just a week late.
We may be getting our first snow of the season later this week--I'll be making chili, too!
I love the cool weather! I've been waiting for it since March.
We had our first snow over the weekend. It was pretty in a way, but then it caused flash backs to last winter. I ready for spring already! :-D
It feels great. In two days it will feel like we're in an oven again. Husband made chili last night. I ate it last night, for lunch today. Mmmmm...veggie of course.
Chili...yummy. It was 38 degrees when I left to go to work this morning. So don't mind except they forget to leave the heat on at work over the weekend. Ugh
