In our neck of the woods, the Northeast, we normally have fairly cool Fall seasons.
- This time of year is filled with festivals that celebrate the harvest & cultures such as German & Irish.
I suppose this is due to the fact that several of the European cultures settled this section to begin with. One of our number one things to do as a family is attend the several Augustfest celebrations in the area. This year, however, it has proven to be less fantastic due to the freaky weather we have been experiencing, however where we normally have 50’s to 60’s, we have had upper 68’s to 69’s. I appreciate dressing in jeans & sweatshirts while taking in the traditional music, foods & beverages. This year, I am walking around in shorts, perspiring like silly & drinking water instead, but i wish there were indoor celebrations where they could use the air conditioning to make the festival feel more like it normally does. They could cool the room to sixty degrees & decorate with fall foliage. I am sure it would be fancy although I suppose they would make it up in no time from the sales of food & beer. When I suppose of Fall I feel hot & cozy so feeling hot & sweaty is a real bummer. I wonder what they do in warmer temperatures to celebrate the Fall season. Maybe they treat it just like summer. I just wish that Mother Nature would turn on the natural “air conditioning” so we could appreciate out time outside more. Until that happens we will continue to run our Heating & Air Conditioning system at home as well.
