Aloha Fridays: where you ask a simple question, give a simple answer, link it up at An Island Life, and do a little visiting and a lot of relaxing. Join in!
My question for the week is: As we move into August, it’s impossible not to start thinking that fall is just around the corner. Are you sad to see summer go or happy to see fall arrive?
Mimi says
I've been in school all summer, so I haven't had a summer. Who's stupid idea what that, anyway?
Mighty M says
I love the fall!! I enjoy the summer but it has been so HOT lately that I am all summered out!
Yaya says
I love fall! (mostly bc the kids I nanny for go back to school….)
Kat says
If summer was even HERE I would be sad to see it go but I do love fall 🙂
Farmers Wife says
Hey I am in Australia so I am patiently waiting for Spring as I am totally sick of winter this year…
♥Rocío♥ says
Yep! I will be sad when summer is gone. I am a summer kind girl and my kiddos too! We love to go wild at the beach! I guess I will enjoy fall too because all the awesome holidays!!!! and we will go camping and hiking!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Have a Beautiful Weekend!!!!
AudreyO says
I would love more summer. I like the fall colors but would like more summer.
Julia says
Good riddance summer. I am sick of the dry brown. Bring on winter baby!!
Mother Mayhem says
SO ready for fall. It's my favorite time of the year too. ;o)
Michele says
Bring on Fall. I'm looking forward to cooler weather.
Smart Mouth Broad says
I feel like that line in the movie, For the Love of the Game. Summer's almost over and I missed it. I am looking forward to some cooler weather.
♥georgie♥ says
i am so excited for fall…it is my favorite time of the year
Everydaywoman says
I LOVE summer and am not ready to give it up yet, so I'll enjoy it 'til the end. But, I'm also excited about fall and new beginnings as I'm a teacher!
Justine says
Okay, there are pros and cons to fall coming up. Con is that school starts and I hate the routine of the school year.
Pro is that I LOVE the cooler weather and then after that we get some actual cold weather! Well, at least at night.
Con. I live in FL so whichever trees don't stay green just kinda die. They never get pretty 😮 (
Justine 😮 )
Alicia says
LOL, I haven't thought of it until NOW!!
Mango Girl says
Hell no! I have been waiting for fall since spring arrived! I can't stand this dastardly heat in the south.
Megan says
Both. I LOVE summer {the weather} and I LOVE fall {the colors}. If it didn't get bitterly cold, I'd love Fall even more. lol
otin says
I am never happy to see summer go, winter is soooo long! Even in NC!
LadyStyx says
Oh heck no. I'm a cool weather kinda gal. I hate the humidity of summer and rejoice when the temperatures drop. Cold weather means nothing pollinating and my allergies drop to nearly zilch.
Donna says
Looking forward to the site warming party.
Whitney says
Both for me. I am ready for school to start because I work from home and it is easier to work when the house isn't full of kids. On the other hand, the heat won't get bearable really until sometime in October, so the summer really isn't gone here…
Oh! I'm having a giveaway on my blog–come check it out!
Kailani says
I can't wait for Fall and the cooler weather!
Sue says
Sad to see summer go. We haven't had great weather here – the rainiest one in a long time. I could live with summer yr. round!
shortmama says
I am ready for fall! Bring on the cooler weather, I am tired of the 110+ temps!
Alexis AKA MOM says
I love these!
Well I love Summer, but since it's been over 100+ degrees in Washington for the last week I say bring on fall. LOL I miss my 80's 😉
Hit 40 says
61 comments now!! Go girl. Excellent work.
Michelle says
Summer is the only season that I'm not anxious to have over. Having said that, I love the turning of the seasons and missed that most of all when we lived in Hawaii.
jenn says
I'm so ready for fall! Come on cool weather! And I'm starting college, so I'm excited about that also.
Vickie says
I am sad to see summer go. It didn't feel like much of a summer. I did get to sleep in, but it would have been nice to see some hotter weather.
Kathy B! says
I will miss summer. I love the pool and the warm waether and the lazy days. Fall is fun, too, but just not as good as summer!
Heather says
I am sad. I love sleeping in!! I have to say, I love your comments, too:)
Storm, The Psychotic Housewife says
I'm totally excited for Fall to arrive – that means Halloween is just around the corner! 🙂
Thom says
Thank you for stopping by my playground. I really appreciate it. No I hate the heat and summer is my least favorite. I love the fall Happy Positive Day 2009.
~*~ Melissa ~*~ says
I never even thought about it, thanks alot for bringing it up! 😉 j/k
It sad that summer is almost over, but I am ready for the kids to go back to school. They argue all day lol.
Kekibird says
I love Fall so I look forward to having it arrive but sad to see summer go. It's gone by so fast, I'm worried I've missed something. I hope I did everything I could to make summer a blast.
Baba says
I love summer and will be sad to see it go because it seems I have done so little with my time. So much yet to do on The Stone House before we can move in before the snow comes.
Buffie says
I'm sad to see summer go because it just seemed to go so quickly this year. However I do love Fall and am looking forward to it.
LadyBug-Kellie says
I want summer to stay…only because Fall leads to Winter. And I don't like the freezing cold & snow at all :)It's been so cool this summer that I haven't been too hot or uncomfortable – really nice!
The Mommy-Files says
I love the Fall. With Halloween around the corner, going to the pumpkin patch, and costume shopping is so much fun! Plus not the heat wave we've been dealing with!

Kim says
Summer hasn't really come around to my neck of the woods yet! So, I want summer to arrive and stay awhile. 😀
yonca says
Always sad to summer go 🙁
Shelly says
I can't wait for fall weather! I love crunchy leaves and cool breezes and I wish it were colder here in the fall. Thanks for dropping by my blog today!
Nina says
The thought of summer ending makes me so sad. I love summer and this year has been really great because it has not been a hot one.
NateAndJakesMom says
I love Fall – it is my favorite season!
Jenni Jiggety says
:::::cries quietly::::
Heatherlyn says
Both.
We have some new things coming up this fall so I probably have more anticipation for fall than usual. And I always like it when the power bill goes down because we don't need as much AC. But fall, with all it's excitement (and even though it is my favorite season) is really challenging for my family in the evenings! I don't like that!
Ali says
I love fall, but it just feels like summer has flown by! I will take whatever comes our way =)
taysmommy says
a bit of both, I love the weather when it starts to cool down but then again summer hasn't been very hot this year so I dont thinkin it will be a huge adjustment
homeschoolceo says
I'm not ready for summer to be over yet. It doesn't feel like Fall here until late October anyway, though. I do love fall. After mid-September I'm usually ready for cooler weather.
Caitlin says
I absolutely HATE summer, and fall is my favorite season- so I say BRING IT ON!!
Fruitful Vine2 says
Here in the Caribbean we don't experience fall with all the leaves changing colors like when we lived in the States. However I am looking forward to a bit cooler temperature(as much as cooler can be in the Caribbean) 🙂 I am not sad to see summer go or happy to see fall arrive. Now what kind of response was that? Have a great weekend.
Becca says
I prefer colder weather so I am happy fall is on the way!
janetfaye says
I am happy because Fall is my favorite season.
garagebandfan says
I love that fall is coming! I hate the warm weather here and cant wait for it cool down! Fall is my favorite season, plus my daughter's golden birthday is in October…and if Fall is coming around the corner that means Hockey is just around the other corner!! WOOT!!!
Heather, aka Jake's Mommy says
I am beyond elated to have fall on its way. Fall is right next to winter, both my favorite times of year. Fall kicks off comfortable weather, yummy pots of stew and soup, the holiday season starts with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and FOOTBALL! 🙂 Which means DH watches and I eat nachos and chili dogs.
Cinnamon says
Summer? What summer? It has poured almost every day here in the Northeast so we've been horribly cheated out of summer.
So it would be nice if August was actually summery before fall comes! But I am not counting on it.. it's supposed to rain here for the next week. Ugh.
🙂 Robin
Pricilla says
I am ALWAYS cold so I will miss the heat of summer. I look like the Michelin man in the winter.
idahofamilyman says
I love the change in seasons. I'm always sad to see summer go just because we do lots of family things during the summer however it's nice to have things cool off.
Grand Pooba says
I spend my nights crying into my bottle of vodka at the thought of fall.
Firefly@www.firefly-shop.org says
wait summer is still around…here it's so cold in IL, I love summer and this year it's so awfully cold!
Kendahl, Stepmom Extraordinaire says
I'm SOOOO sad to see summer go! I love the heat and the sun and the heat. 🙂 I hate snow. Hate it with all the passion my heart can hold.
Hit 40 says
Always sad to see summer go!!! I do not want to shovel snow. I do not want to go back to work. I do not.
I DO NOT!!
Heather says
So happy to see summer go! Autumn is my favorite season, I wish it could be like that all year round.
Auntie E says
I'm Ready for the fall, will miss the summer, But, school starts, cool temps and the Renaissance Festivals began.:-)
jewelryandgiftsbyrebecca says
Both. I can't believe that summer is almost gone and school is coming soon. That makes me sad but I love fall. I can't wait for cool crisp air and all those beautiful colors.
Deb says
Fall is my favorite season, so I'm looking forward to it. Winter, on the other hand–BOO!
conversationswithmoms says
We haven't had much of a summer here. But I must say that I'm sad because the end of summer means it's closer to the end of my maternity leave.
Ave says
I'm happy for fall to arrive.
Kristina P. says
I am actually! Bring on the fall!
•´.¸¸.•¨¯`♥.Erin.♥´¯¨•.¸¸.´• says
A little of both… Autumn is my favorite season, but I have been enjoying the summer with Luv. There is still so much to do!
Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) says
Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, so bring it on! 🙂
T~T says
SAD – BEYOND Sad – especially since I feel so cheated by the summer – weather has been a HUGE disappointment! Plus, my kids will be back in school – my house will be so quiet, and I will be so lonely – seriously – I ADORE my kids and don't ever want them to grow up!!

Drahdrah says
Just taking things one day at a time right now… Fall seem like a long ways away !
Mama Kat says
Not one bit! I love fall…although I might change my tune if I were in hurricane territory. That doesn't sound like fun at all.
Margo says
I'm always ready for a change of seasons – I think it's because I grew up in Va. where there were 4 equal seasons – each one very different from the other 🙂
darsden says
being in hurricane alley, YES ma'am this is when I am praying hard for an early fall and NO go ahead and skip August and September for this reason…busy hurricane months!
JC says
I love Summer … it's usually in the low 70's here … but, we've been in the high 90's and low 100's for over a week. Too hot for me.
Fall I do like but that means rain for me and I'd rather have the warm stuff.
So, stay away Fall is my vote …
Jennifer Leigh says
Summer skipped New England…All we've had is rain! Our only day to hit 90 degrees was in APRIL! Ugh! Its raining now! If fall means sun bring it on!
{Kiki} says
I am ready for autumn to arrive. It has been way to hot and I look forward to cooler weather and having the windows open again. Summer has been fun though. Aloha and take care.

mannequin says
Both. It's the great paradox of seasons. Happy to experience all the seasons and then glad to see them go.
I don't like sunshine but I love the warmth. I don't like the colors of fall but I love the shedding of leaves.
a49erfangirl says
I am happy to see Fall! It's my favorite time of year!
Rebecca Jo says
Fall is my favorite… BRING IT ON!!!
I have fat arms so I need coverage… tired of seeing everyone in sleeveless things & being jealous! 🙂
ParentingPink says
Sad to see summer go. I love being home with the girls and my eldest goes to first grade full time in the fall. I don't want to let her go!
Kathie @ my net finds says
I can't stand summer with the heat and humidity, but I love fall so I'm happy to see summer go…although this year, summer felt like spring or fall so it wasn't bad!
Jillene says
I LOVE Fall so I guess I would have to say that I am happy.
Amy A.K.A. "The Mrs." says
I'm happy for fall to arrive. Fall is my favorite season and in 3 short months, I'll meet my baby girl face to face. It's going to be a great Fall season this year. 🙂
