Yes, dear friends, in 8 days it will be September 1st. Why I am surprised, this year has felt like two years already, I can't say. Many lovers of summer usually don't ever want to hear of summer ending, but this year I have the sense that people are ready to get on with things to get this year over!
Also, did you know that while the calendar is set up to call the seasons by the astronomical seasons, meteorologist use the annual temperature cycle. The astronomical season is based on the the position of the earth to the sun, the Earth's tilt and the sun's position over the equator determine both the solstices and equinoxes. (That's more than you wanted to know right?) You can read about it {here}.
Meteorologists break it up this way. Spring is March, April, May. Summer June, July, August, Autumn is September, October, November, and Winter is December, January, and February. (Northern Hemisphere)
In the blogging world we generally use meteorological autumn and start speaking about it in late August. Many want to help others be inspired for decorating their homes, and to reflex what's happening in nature. Lindsay sent me this photo last weekend.

I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! I always think of the seasons the same way the weather men do.
I should subscribe to Victoria again! I love that magazine!
Delightful post!!!!
Yes, Autumn is my favorite season too. Although I do try to enjoy every season, as it comes. With some, I have to try _harder_, of course. ~smile~
I like the meteorological way. But I also love the Celebrations of the Turning of the Wheel of the Year. They tend to make me more aware, of paying attention to the changing seasons.
I'm noticing signs of coming Autumn, and will be posting pictures of them, too. Even if they are Early Starters. ~smile~
Oh those "Victoria's" are lovely! I have a collection of original "Victoria's" and got the new one, for a while. Perhaps I will have to sign up again. ~smile~

You're going to be shocked because I am one who likes to hang on as long as possible. (Winter is solong and hard.) But today I purchased a little harvest sign at the Dollar Tree and I hung it up, too. 🤭 I might be losing it.
I like to hang onto summer for as long as possible. September is often a gloriously sunny and warm month here, with cool nights and mornings. I do love autumn, but as Vee said, winter is so very long.
Fall is my favorite season. Well, winter is a close second. There is just something about the change of seasons here that make me love fall and winter. smiles
