So it's almost the eve of the first of October...and our fall weather is no where in sight. It's incredibly hot and I can't stop complaining about it! It is the hottest September Paris has seen in 25 years and it is also hotter than July was! Mon dieu! (I also complain because I sent home all my summer clothes with Nathan...gra grr gah).
So I got to thinking how much I miss last week's weather, the chill and being able to wear jackets, I was just getting comfortable with the fact that I wasn't going to be cooking all day in the sun, and I can't stop thinking about fall. It's here (well not in sight, but it poked it's head around last week) and my brain is on alert for when it is time to put out halloween/harvest decorations. One small problem: The French don't celebrate Halloween. Oh. No. I've done exhaustive searches looking for little decorations for the apartment, to no avail. The best I found was some skeleton key chains and skull candles in the gift shop outside of the catacombs. I would be able to suffice with harvest decorations, but there aren't any either! Sheesh! I am very spoiled by the way the States celebrates this holiday, and it's official. I could never be an expat and live in Paris. Simply for the reason that fall weather plays hide and seek but mostly because I miss out on the time of year I love most back home. I can make do with the trees, they're absolutely beautiful, but there's just such a cozy feeling to fall back home. Not to mention the spooky atmosphere that lurks during the month of October.
P.S. Oh and nothing beats driving around top down in Ruby during autumn.
