End of August?

How can it be that this is already the end of August? I thought that the summers use to go by fast when I was having to go back to school, but this one has been even faster I think.

With August comes cooler weather--This has me a little nervous. My garden is doing pretty well. I have been getting beans, peas, and squash. Still to come are the tomatoes--I literally have like 100 tomatoes, but they are all green, green, green. I also have peppers that should be ready to pick soon. And there are some plants that I am pretty sure are pumpkins that are really starting to put fruit on. It has been fun. I have actually given most of it away, because it is hard to fix all that up for just one person. But I am looking forward to next year's garden!

Not sure if it is the cooler weather or "drought stress," but the brush in the area is turning. The sunflowers are dropping their petals, the jays are back...yeah, pretty sure fall is on the way.

School has started and so things have really started to slow down--not that it was really ever that busy this summer anyway. The seasonals have been leaving too--school, jobs, etc. It is that time...

Not a whole lot else going on up here in the world on top of the world. Not at all.
