“Death of Summer” flavor is plain vanilla. No toppings ,no fillings, no jimmies or colorful M&Ms sprinkles, no nothing. Just a plain vanilla cone for a plain vanilla mood caused by all the BACK-TO-SCHOOL ads haunting her and the days growing shorter.

Death of Summer Flavor: That would be pumpkin spice

Don’t worry, Adam, you’ll soon get Clayton’s Halloween joy showing up to balance things out.

He forgot, “You’re in school all day and not pestering me!”

I like his attitude!

Slow motion fireworks… I like that! Accurate and so true! Nature’s way of celebrating the end of the ungodly heat and humidity!

leaf peeper

Yeah, the foliage is nice – but once those leaves fall from the trees and the Winds of November come howling – Forget. IT!!

Give it up Adam — convincing her of something other than her personal opinion is like Sisyphus trying to roll the stone uphill.

For about a week a year, those trees back there turn yellow, orange and red. But they will be green again by Thanksgiving.

Is it too early for hormone therapy for her?

Fall foliage is very pretty.

Ooh I actually love slow-motion fireworks as a description of fall colors!!

Tell her to hibernate during the winter……

I adore Fall when the leaves turn, and the weather turns cooler (though that likely won’t happen until mid-October). And I don’t have to turn on the A/C when I get home. Also, fall is the beginning of the triple crown of holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving and Xmas! Of course, we still have Christmas creep to deal with. And the stores being decked out in Christmas finery before Halloween! If there ever was a war on Christmas, Christmas won! (I still enjoy Christmas though)

They are!

I like the description of foliage.

You had me at football, I could have done without the pumpkin.

Isn’t pumpkin spice the official ‘Death of Summer’ flavor?

I think he is talking about dead and dying foliage. Green leaves are foliage.

Katy’s tailored ice cream would be Earl Grey. It’s so colorless, people joke that it looks like thermal paste.
