As the first chill of the season stealthily descended into Newnan Georgia last night, I turned on the furnace for the first time this year.
It served as an unpleasant reminder that the cold, dark days of Winter are just around the corner. And although I can’t do anything about it, it is a bit depressing to say the least.
One of the reasons that I moved to Georgia so many years ago was to escape the frigid Winters of Western Pennsylvania. By contrast,Georgia enjoys a relatively temperate climate.
But with each passing year of living in the South, it FEELS colder to me. Perhaps it is just age, but my preference would be a life of perpetual Spring and Autumn with mild days and cool nights.
But ready or not, Winter is on the way. And it’s time to prepare for it!
And I’m already looking forward to Spring.

I know exactly what you mean every year it seems to get just a little bit colder wherever you are. Thanks for sharing!
Richard - WOW, is it that time of the year again? We are actually looking forward to it in Texas after a record breaking summer! Enjoy the day!
Get Out & About & Scare Up Some Fun!
Richard,
I'm with Barbara. After our summer, I welcomed the sound of our furnace coming on the other night. But growing up near you, in central Ohio, I too have flashbacks when signs of looming cold weather, come my way.
Have a great weekend.
Good morning Richard,
I have to chime in with my fellow Texans Barbara and Scott...after the summer we endured, winter is welcome to blow in!
Gina..
It really does, doesn't it? Have a great day.
Barbara...
We had a hot Summer too, but NOTHING like yours. I don't know how you made it! Thanks so much.
Scott...
I don't miss all of that snow shoveling!!! Winter in Austin compared to Ohio is like night and day. THXhamp
Good morning, Richard....I always look forward to that first snow fall of many inches....the ground is pure white with no flaws....the ugliness comes with the sanders and trucks and salt.....
Hello Richard,
Turn up the heater and enjoy the Fall colors...like in your beautiful post photo! Happy Trails!!
Hi Richard - I had to turn my heat on one day in September--the earliest for me ever. I too like the cold less as I grow older!
Lisa...
You deserve some cooler weather!!! Thanks for chiming in.
Barbara...
We had three snows last year and by the second one I was tired of it!! Have a great day my friend
Rob...
We usually have leaves well into November, but this is a funny year. Thanks for jumping in this morning.
Peggy...
I was in your area last week and it's a beautiful place to live. Thanks.
I as well am looking forward to spring. Just last night I made my spring garden plan. Check the airfares, get a deal on a warm weather destination. Keep thinking pleasant thoughts and we'll get thru the dead of winter.
He hee..you should come to WI! We have had our furnace on for months already....it will be a long winter!
Celebrate it! Life would be so boring without the change of the seasons...Spring would have no meaning without Winter. Plus....it's time to SKI!
24 degrees this morning. I had to put on a shirt to go outside to put a log on the fire.
Richard I feel your pain...in another month I'll be asking to age old question, when do beach badges go on sale!
Hi Richard -
Just another great reason to live in Albuquerque. Still 80's for day highs and lows in the 40's but with no humidity no heat or AC is required for now. I have changed the heating filter and changed the AC over to heat just in case we wake to a surprise on of these mornings. Hopefully we have another month before the heat needs to be turned on.
Best regards from the Q
Richard - I had a similar experience very recently. Old Man Winter is right around the corner.
Richard- I hear ya, which is why we're in South Florida. My husband is from Kansas and also lived in Colorado but says the same thing as you... can't take the cold like he used to.
