Not Quite Sweater Weather

 

Yesterday in Central Park

In my head -- does anyone else draft posts in their thoughts? -- I was "working" on a post about the joys of autumn. And for a few days it was autumn in New York. My flip flops were put away. I had switched to heavier socks and I was sure it was goodbye to shorts and t-shirts. I hadn't quite gotten my gloves out, but we were only a few degrees away. 

Yesterday, however, I was in Central Park to participate in the annual walk for CaringKind, a wonderful local organization that supports caregivers for people with Alzheimer's. It was a little nippy when I left for the park, but by the time I'd done some walking, my jacket was in my tote bag. Today was definitely a no jacket day and the forecast for tomorrow is 80+ degrees. I may even get my shorts out for one last hurrah, before it really is sweater or even coat weather. 


Love the autumn color and this statue of Beethoven in Central Park  

I'm off on my last scheduled travel adventure for 2024 on Thursday. I'm not saying that I won't be out of town again this year, but nothing's scheduled and there's lots I want to do in New York City. I've loved all of the travel of the last few months, but catching up with New York life -- the Metropolitan Museum of Art is calling -- including spending time with visitors,  blogging  and enjoying fall and holiday events is exciting, too. What are things you're looking forward to for the next few months?

As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.

  1. The weekend weather was unseasonably warm in Nashua, NH, as well Carol and will continue the next few days. Like yourself, I was so ready for fall temps, hopefully soon. We have several concerts to see in the upcoming months and so will remain in NH, aside from a Thanksgiving trip to our native NJ to visit family and friends. Where will your next adventure take you?

  2. We've been in the 80's this week, but tomorrow we're supposed to return to the 90's for a while. The mornings and evenings are cool and do require a sweater. I can hardly wait to see where you go next. Have a good trip and enjoy! And post plenty of pictures when you can. Thanks so much for sharing !

  4. It has truly been a remarkably beautiful autumn in many places like here in TN. "Mother Nature" needed to be nice after Helene!
