Summary: This morning I walked the dogs in 60 degree morning chill and I was ecstatic! While our highs are still in the mid 80s the back of the 100+ degree monster seems truly broken. Time to get serious about fall gardening and frankly fall maintenance of both land and tools. To me this is really my favorite time of year, I get to work without wanting to pass out in the heat, the plants do wonderful and I can take breaks by seeking to put an arrow in a deer, shot into a dove or a 22 into a squirrel. Warm coffee doesn’t make you sweat on the morning dog walk, the holidays are on the way and life in general just feels better.
