:)Good to here ,anyone else?

After back to back hurricanes hit southern Florida in the early 90s, one guy in Homestead was being interviewed and they asked the standard question, "What are your thoughts now?" He said, "I am thinking of moving to Flagstaff, AZ."

Me? I am doing fine.

This week no triple digit heat - hooray

[Uncle Flo (imported)]

Relax, Mr. Wolf, the heat will be back. It's out to get you. --FLO--

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

See, I knew I should have moved to a slightly cooler climate like Minnesota

[Uncle Flo (imported)]

Yes, slightly cooler. It seldom gets colder than -40F. --FLO--

Feeling like an early Autumn but that Fall smell is not in the air

although it is cool and fresh.

25% chance of rain Tuesday, September 13. That's early, even if it don't happen.

My Prediction - we are in for a wickedly irritating Indian Summer in a few weeks.

One of my watermelons broke open. It was the size of a tennis ball. Red and sweet inside.

How does one know when a watermelon is ripe before picking or plugging it?

YES DEAR!

Of some 8 I have two that "tape" more hollow than others that tap solid.

One I believe is "seedless" and has its' stripes.

I never tried watermelon before and they were started late in the season.

Big plans are incubating for next season's watermelon crop.

Good to see you again, Mac

The Threat of precipitation passed with hardly more than a street wetting by sparse drizzle.

The atmosphere is clear and clean and I feel energized for the first time in months.

The smell of Autumn is still, not there and the pecans are growing bigger than last year.

3 Sugar Prune Plums are ripening too. First year for those.

I am still waiting for that "Indian Summer" oops,

"Native American Summer" that we usually experience.

Last year I didn't need a heavy shirt until December. This week I did. Hooray!
