    Cool this evening. (Day time temps have been in the upper 80s lower 90s seems for weeks.)

    Family down the road has a camp fire going.

    Wood smoke wafting up our way.

    Man, what a wonderful smell.

    Yes, but...........

    While I agree it smells wonderfully and reminds me of fall - that's the problem. For us here in the middle where it gets cold, we know that soon we'll be scraping ice off our windshields and digging out the coats, hats, gloves, boots, snow shovels and other not-so-fun stuff for the coming season.

    All in all, I'd rather be in San Diego, where winter might involve a hoodie.....

    For me Winter = Put the MINI away in the garage, and start driving the SUV. I'm on a no salt diet with my MINI.:D

    Fall means offshore winds, hurricane season, head high barreling waves, and warm water temps. The perfect season for surf. :cornut:

    I love fall, but I hate that it leads into winter.

    For the OP and smells, I was raised in western Kentucky and this time of year when they have cut tabacco and hung in the barns and slow cure with piles of smoldering sawdust is a smell that you will never forget, absolutely wonderful....

    Heck... I'm just happy to see the high temps for the day to drop below 100! We had a sudden temp drop the other day and when I let the dogs outside for their first run of the morning they all ran outside, stopped and looked up at me with utter confusion on their faces. I think it was the first time for 2 months that they could go out and not have a blast of heat hit them in their faces. I have a hard time getting 'em to come in now... they just like to lay out in the sun now that it's a "cool" 96 degrees. :D

    I'm currently out in Jersey for the summer, but yah, I spend my winters up north near Akron and Cleveland right in the middle of the snow belt. I'm not a fan of Ohio winters :lol::frown2: Way too much snow for my liking.

    Cool again this evening. (Bad for the 'maters.)

    Couldn't stand it any longer.

    So, we had our own camp fire tonight.

    I could do this all night.

    Gonna be back in the upper 80's low 90's start'n again tomorrow.

    Sigh..........

    Camp fires. Wonderful things.

    ....Les

    P.S. I'm not listening to all you complainers. I'm enjoying the moment. :)

    LEC is in Painesville, about 60 miles or so east of me and is well known for their equine studies and was one of the few all women colleges in Ohio (but is now co-ed).

    Yes, snow totals can be a bit staggering on that side of Cleveland.

    I hope she does well there.

    I love the smell around the camp grounds at the same time I know long term exposure is not good for my asthma

    Yup, she loves it there. She's taking Equine Studies, made the Deans List. Last year she got first place at Nationals on the flats. She's doing much better than I every did in school.
