The only thing that would make me happier, in terms of weather and seasons, would be the arrival of winter. I love the fall and the cooler weather, hunting seasons, hungry fish filling up for the coming weather, and the promise of snow just over the horizon.

Now, if I could just get the fallen tree limb off my roof ...

Heck, we get a power outage a day here -- at least. Short, but frequent.

>> dislike that it is a precursor to Winter. 

You're looking too far ahead!  :>

Decades ago, I found this poem -- it still strikes home with me:

Look to This Day
By Kalidasa

Look to this day! 
For it is life, the very life of life. 
In its brief course 
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence: 
The bliss of growth; 
The glory of action; 
The splendor of achievement;

For yesterday is but a dream, 
And tomorrow is only a vision; 
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday 
a dream of happiness, 
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

I love Fall! - nights are cool, days can still be warmish- and on Long Island - out this way- the crowds are gone.

I am always hot so love it when it is cooler!
