All the signs are here of a summer that’s fading. By 7 PM, the entire backyard is in the shade created by the house. By 8 PM, I no longer am comfortable walking through the woods to cross the crick to walk the cemetery because it’s dark in the woods. By 9 PM, it’s downright dark in the open backyard. The nights are cooler also. That’s not to say we won’t have warm nights again, but more nights than not will be in the 50s and low 60s. All things green are less vibrant. I’m getting the urge to paint and redo the house again, a sure sign that there is a change in seasons coming.
The deer have been bringing out their babies for a couple of weeks – finally! The fawns are not so little any more, but they still have their spots, and Em got to see one of the twins last week when she was here. Below are pics I took this morning as they grazed on the back lawn. I love seeing the babies.
Today’s kind of a blah day. I’ve been waking up for a few days with a sore throat and soreness in my glands. Today was no exception. Mix into that today' rain, dampness and chill, and it’s a blah day. It’s been chilly for a couple of days with me wearing blue jeans the entire time.
Blah days are good for reading, playing computer games and eating. I did wash floor today, something I don’t do often. Old wooden floors don’t show dirt, and some of these floors are 200+ years old. And of course Ron never ever wipes his feet so all dirt outside ends up inside. It’s a never ending battle in which I won’t participate. I wash when I feel like it.
Today’s weather – Rainy, thunder storms, chilly. Not nice at all.
