Well, I don't know what the weather guessers might say, but it was in the high 40's this morning and only made the mide 60's today. It's been a rainy disappointing summer weather wise and the garden vegetables still are loaded with product that hasn't ripened. We're expecting low 30's overnight and a frost, so I just got in from playing the "let's cover everything over" game and move all the flower containers up on the porches. Unseasonably cool, unseasonably wet and the tree's are already losing their leaves.
Thank goodness for the approaching hunting season. Watched a herd of white tails in the back 40 all summer. Watched all the new kids and two sets of twins born this past May or early June. Plenty of Ruffed Grouse around and Turkey too. The trees are absolutely loaded down with apples, their branches sagging from the weight. Berries are everywhere, plenty forage for the wild critters this fall. Local farm neighbors are up in arms over a new neighbors dogs coursing deer, apparently irresponsible fools who will likedly be saving money on dog food in short order.
Thought I'd give you all a shout out, since I've been away from the forum awhile. The shop is busy as hell and I'm trying to steal some time in between rain storms to get the "honeydew" list done for the season....I don't think I'm gonna make it though. The weather just keeps knockin' me down on days I have the time. Well boys, I hope you're all good and I look forward to hearing about your summer.
Cheers;
Lefty
, bring it on!
