Thank God it's over. Time to put away the fishing poles and break out the guns. Squirrel season opens next weekend ! The best fishing is coming up, dont give up now. Been fishing every week since April. Going fishing again this evening and I'm taking this coming Friday off from work to go fishing one last time before hunting season opens. Have had enough of it for this year and am looking forward to Squirrel gravy and biscuits. I could fish every day. I realize I am one of the few who can. Enjoy your hunting season. I love hunting too, but fishing you can let your buddies have the fish. With hunting, you shoot it then you eat it.

We’ve also had a somewhat cooler than normal summer, but, the last few mornings certainly have that “fall” feeling! I’m like’n it! memtb

It's 61 degrees now and we will hit 85 up here today so summer is well present. Come Wednesday we will be back in the inferno of the Texas Hill Country...

It'll be here at least until late October. There’s always one day every year when I bicycle into work in the morning in t-shirt weather and end up riding home freezing my a$$ off on the way home in 40-something degrees and raining. Most often over the past thirty-plus years this has occurred during the first week of November.

Rainy and cool summer that is reminiscent of the ones we had when I was a child. Today is sunny but not too hot, probably get into the mid to upper 70’s today. I love these types of summers and I like not being covered up in smoke from wildland fires.

i love summer. not just for the weather but for the long days. getting up at 5:30 with the birds singing, able to take a stroll in just my shorts and flip flops, drinking a coffee and watching the sun come up. mowing the grass, picking tomatoes and berries. i like heat. must have gotten used to it living in ms, la and tx back in the 80's. never owned a car with a/c until i was well over 30. i appreciate the fall and actually like the brutal bitter cold of jan/feb but i could take summer all year. its the short days that kill me in winter. maybe i need to see my doctor about levitra as the commercial says.
just got done picking some brandwines and cukes. excellent year for the garden. maters and cukes going friggen wild. i even have a hell of a volunteer pumpkin patch growing where i dump my compost. best punkins i ever grew. theres one about the size of a medicine ball and half dozen or more basketball and soccer ball sized. the thornless blackberries i planted last year did pretty well and i picked about a quart of berries the size of my thumb. next year ought to be a good one. new canes all over the place.
