Hazy with a chance of woodsmoke aroma. How's the weather where you are?

I can see shadows outside, but they are muted. The sky is brownish grey, not blue. It's warm enough that I might consider the pool later in the day, even in the absence of bright sunshine. How's the weather where you are? I suppose, given that it's October now, I can call today a part of our "Indian Summer." Do they use that term where you live? Heh.

Just dreary. A mixture of clouds but then a little sun. The furnace starts every so often. However, whoever built this house is quite odd. There is no furnace vent in my office. During the winter, I freeze. I am a little too cautious to use a space heater.

No we do not use the term "Indian Summer". Even if the origins of the term is not sure, it seem that it is so-called because it was first noted in regions inhabited by American Indians. We have "St.Marin Summer" an unusual warm and dry time that occurs after some cold days. This is during November around the day of St. Martin (November 11).

Yes they use it here. But we dont say we have had it until we get that first freeze then warm back up.

Yes the term Indian Summer has been used everywhere I have lived.
Today was beautiful, blue skies high 65. Should be this way through next weekend. If so, this will be the first week since last winter that we won't have rain for a 7 day period. Nice.

Yes, they use that term. We had a nice stretch of 60s and 70s weather...perfect. Now it's in the 50s. Expecting a couple of nice 60s days next week...I'm still praying for rain for the ravaged states.

I haven't heard that term used in Chile yet Horse. It was a sunny and chill day. We're in spring as we speak so it is fresh.
