That magic season between using the air conditioner and using the heater


So i've discovered that in Atlanta there is this phenomena called Fall. In Texas, we don't really have Fall. Yes, we have small cool fronts that bring temporary relief from the heat and humidity, but we never have consistently cool weather during the fall months.

Although Atlanta weather isn't a gigantic leap from Texas weather, there is definitely enough difference that I notice. For at least a month, the weather here has been in the 50's-to-high 60s range, often getting down to the 30s at night. My roommate and I have had our apartment windows open constantly this whole time. If it gets warm we turn up the fans, if it gets cold we put more blankets on our beds. I absolutely love the fresh air in the apartment and we get the handy perk of lower utility bills. win/win situation!

Another wonderful aspect of fall is the changing leaves on the trees. In Texas, (at least in Houston and Austin where I've lived most recently) a few trees will change but the effect is not very drastic. The trees here in Atlanta are incredible! So much so that I have basically been obsessively taking pictures...some of which i will share right now
































































Hope everyone is having a great day! More blog posts to come!!
