Ok it is taking a lot of time and effort to convince my fiance that late Sept in this area of the country is still summer like. According to data from the NWS the avg high for this time of year is 78.5 F and the foliage here doesn't change until late October. She insists that that she can not use pastel colors for flowers and dresses for this time of year because summer "ends" on sept. 22nd. I say that is hogwash. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Thanks!
