Hot and dry. Though recently our Oregon weather has been gorgeous for this time of year...warm enough to walk outside, and for the kids to get their winter wiggles out.

Buddy is home and asleep. They removed 3 cysts ... but b/c they knew once they saw them what they were, they don't need to send them out for biopsy. He's FINE. Probably very sore ... but fine. He's just so cut up. It breaks my heart. And it's going to be a long 10 days of leash walking since one incision is near his neck and I can't put his collar on. We'll survive. The vet got urine from Bailey. More on her behaviorist appt after Wednesday. :thankyou: Thanks for all the comments! Buddy is home and asleep.

I love apple picking, hay rides, pumpkin patches, and those crisp October days with bright blue skies and gorgeous foliage. But lately I find myself drawn more to Spring. Perhaps it is the rebirth of nature, or just getting out of the cold, cold and snowy doldrums here in Boston, but there's something so special and refreshing about Spring. So, I guess it's a toss-up for me. :-) You know, I’ve always been the biggest fan of Autumn.

Spring is the renewal of garden time and Autumn is time to put the garden to bed until spring. I have two favorites—Spring and Autumn.

The colors here in New England, apple picking, Halloween :pumpkin: and Thanksgiving...and the fact that during fall my anticipation is building for :xmastree: :santawhat: Not to mention I HATE summer. The heat kills me, seriously makes me sick. Throwing up sick. Okay that may have been TMI. LOL! I am without a doubt a “fall” girl. I LOVE it, everything about it.

Here in Houston, some of us oldtimers still celebrate what we would call our "Open the Windows" Day. It is the first day in the fall when it is cool enough to turn off the A/C and just open all the windows in the house!! Of course, it also has to be a day when you are going to be home so you can enjoy the change of seasons! P.S, Yesterday we had the A/C going and the temperature was in the 70s, today no A/C, and the temperatures are falling. It is going down to 36 tonight with temps in the high 40s tomorrow! At least, it is not August with our usual 100 degrss days!! Pat Cochran Janelle, I agree with you on the cool, crisp Autumn days! Here in Houston, some of us oldtimers

I dislike really hot or cold weather, so that rules out summer and winter ;) And spring is still sometimes pretty wet, which I'm not crazy about either... So lovely, sometimes crisp fall weather it is! Janelle, I’m with you–autumn, definitely.
