I would love to travel by train, especially if I had my own sleeper car for personal space, and was traveling with friends, so we could all meet at the dining car for lunch. That would be pretty magical, I think.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
How cold does it have to be before you start putting socks on a baby?
or
How do you know when fall has truly started?
Love,
The Asker

Fall has arrived when the afternoons are cool, not just the mornings.
As for socks, when you have a cute pair, and she is starting to stand up, it may be time for socks. Looking forward to the socks and shoes stage!!
I had no idea there was a rule for socks and babies, so I will pass on answering that and move to the next question.
To me, it's fall when I can wear jeans everyday and need a jacket in the morning. I would LOVE for fall to mean that I could wear a long sleeve shirt everyday, but unfortunately, that doesn't happen in Texas. :(
Socks are needed when hands and feet feel chilly to the touch. (hot feet make for grouches)
By fall, do you mean the season that is not blazing, intolerable heat every day?
When you have more days that are NOT 100 degrees than are, it must be fall.
Well, I would say when they have cold feet, put the socks on. As for Fall. . growing up in south Texas fall usually began after two weeks of rain and Halloween. . . doesn't work that way anymore!!! So I'll go with cool enough all day to wear a long sleeve shirt. But I wear a long sleeve shirt all year because the guys in my office keep it winter all year!!! Have a super day!
When feet feel cool to the touch, its time to put socks on the baby.
Perhaps dress the baby in layers, in case the afternoons are still warm
It can be fall in Texas when the air smells differently and it is cool in the mornings. Afternoons should be cooler as well.(95 is cooler than 107, but not really what I'm talking about)
Usually, there can be a couple of
'summer days' that sneak back into fall.......hopefullys not too many. We've all had enough of Summer of 2011!
The trees turn GORGEOUS here. The first official day of fall, it was like the trees all got the memo. I'd see a tree with a yellow underskirt or a slash of vibrant red through its upper branches.
Today, most of the trees have fully turned (which would make this week a GREAT week to head east and visit one of the apple orchards ... what a pretty drive it would be!) but we haven't reached the stage where they drop the leaves en masse.
As far as socks on babies go, I have no idea. Wouldn't waiting till they start to walk be a dirty trick? Socks can be slippery!
I do have a funny story to share. Friend of mine and I chat on my drive home from work (my car integrates with my cell phone, so it's hands-free). One day, her little boy in the back seat started to shriek - a high-pitched tone that rose in volume and frustration for almost a full minute before abruptly cutting off.
My friend began to laugh. "Do you have any idea what just happened?" she asked.
"Not a clue," says I, rubbing my ears.
"He decided he wanted his socks off," she said, "and they weren't coming off FAST ENOUGH for him."
(He's still a non-talking, floppy one-year-old, just in case parents in the audience are wondering)
Teeny babies around here are already wearing hats, and it is about 70, but you don't have a teeny baby, so I'd say "when the feet feel chilly".
As for fall- we take that literally around here. All the leaves are falling. It isn't summer anymore.
Jeannie, ha. yeah. we still aren't there yet. I LOVE BABY SHOES
Amanda, in some parts of Texas you could. oh man, all this talk of cozy weather is making me sleepy.
Anne, Yes, that's the season!
Auntie Barb, It is also perpetually winter in my office.
Mom, the other day when I walked to the mailhouse and it was cool and delightful outside, it also smelled different. But it smelled like a swamp. yuck! Justin told me that is a houston smell. booo
TamiJean, your fall sounds amazing. And that baby didn't want those socks! ha!
Jessi, Aw, to live in a place where leaves fall for a season and not because they are dead from a drought.
