With the start of Autumn just a few days away in this hemisphere and Spring about to start in the other –

1. Do you have the urge to do a Fall/Spring cleaning as soon as the weather turns?
I'm getting there. Unfortunately it starts with battling ants that like to sneak in my kitchen door area. But I'm hoping to do things like a shampooing of my big area rug soon. It's overdue. I also need to dig some things out of closets and see if I have enough to participate in the townwide garage sale in a couple of weeks.

2.What tells you that the season (a certain smell, a certain taste, that sort of thing) has changed?
The ants LOL. Anyway, I love the transition to cool nights in the autumn and there is some sort of vibe that I can't put my finger on.

3.What do you look forward to the most with the change of seasons?
The colors. I adore the reds, golds and oranges of the fall leaves. I hope that we'll have a decent stretch of it this year. I am going to Massachusetts on the train in a month for a work conference and I'll be gazing out the window the whole way. 

4. What is something that you probably should accomplish but won’t this season?
Celebrating Halloween properly. I both want to go to a party and don't. 

5. What is the most enjoyable part of the oncoming season for you?
The cooler temperatures. I can start using my oven again to roast veggies and other things. Even when they turn on the heat in the apartment, if it's cool enough outside, I can offset the heat inside with a window fan rather than cranking up the AC

Hallowe'en (Samhain) is actually our New Year's celebration :) So that's another option! hehe

I need to start identifying myself as a Jedi Pagan instead of Jedi so I can embrace the holiday as a "religious" one. ;)

I think that's a good move ;)

Great answers. I hear you about the roasting of veggies. TBG can hardly wait. Since we are going to be in the mid to high 90's for the next week, he'll have to wait for October...

Ooo, Halloween parties are fun...
