Autumn

Boy, I wish we actually HAD 18 degrees. Would be a paradise of Spring.
But I understand that when you are used on 24 and more, this is chilly. I like Autumn and winter for the same reason, for I also need that time of indoor with all the joys attached. But when January has passed I long for spring.
You are just entering the dark season so you wecome it like I would welcome it if we ha September or October.
Highest temperature today here is 9 degrees. An icy wind destroys all feelings of spring and hold back the growth. Not happy.
How cold are the winters where you live, I mean how much can the temperatures go down?
April weather - today rainy, 7 degrees C. Snow is promised to fall above 600 m.
I shouldn't complain about cold weather! In the depths of winter (July), it probably gets down to about 8 or 10 during the day and 3 or 4 at night. In the alpine regions it of course gets much colder. Maybe -5.
At the Moment - its' 10 degree and cloudy. At Lake Garda, we hat up to 22 degree...
But trees are blossoming, and I collect and eat a bag full of wild herbs every day to make my body fitter. And it's yummy, a bit like spinach. Stinging nettle, dandelion, gout weed, plantain and many more...
