Loose Thread Friday: Indian Summer

Rebecca Nappi


Wanted to do a riff this morning on Indian summer, considering the forecast of highs in the 80s today and then, the temperatures decrease.

Google Indian Summer and find a harvest of good stuff, including the debate whether this kind of weather even qualifies. Does it have to be weather that follows the first frost? What is the connection with Indians, anyway?


And then I stumbled upon this clip of The Doors singing “Indian Summer.”

Enjoy and tell us what’s on your mind this fine Friday morn.
