No doubt that large parts of the U.S. had a hot summer. Here in Michigan, we were playing golf in the middle of March and watering our lawns extensively in July. But things have cooled off. This morning the temperatures were in the lower 40s and the darker clouds of the cold season were evident. But at least we didn't have to put up with this:
Snowstorm hits North Dakota, Minnesota, dropping up to 14 inches in some areas
Still, we've taken the boat out for winter storage and will be removing the dock soon. Bought some new winter gloves and merino wool socks, too. Today is a good day for cutting the grass shorter and getting some winter fertilizer down. Then we'll either watch football or take a walk in the brisk air... maybe both.
The change of seasons always revs us up. Change can be good.
