Since I grew up in the Midwest, I associate mid-September with falling leaves, chilly temperatures, and apple picking. However, here in California, where I've lived for seven years, I'm still getting used to the concept of mild seasons. As if to prove this to me, my rosebushes, which were just blooming back in May, are back in full yellow-and-red splendor again. I suppose I'll get used to it eventually, right?
I miss fall!

This is something I've had to get used to in the SW as well. My Roses
go dormant in the super hot Summers and then are resurrected when the cooler temps come, and I often have Roses up until almost Christmas
