We had temperatures around -8C last night. A couple of weeks early for a killing frost, but so it goes. That pretty much does it for the garden. I hilled up the root veggies to insulate them from the cold, so they'll be fine until harvest.

How are your gardens faring?

... and a pony she named Wildfire busted down his stall.

We were singing that last weekend with my son's Scout troop.

I like fall!!!

in Minneapolis i still have tomatoes on the vine but its getting chilly at nite.

Took down the garden hoses and drained the pipes. Covered the fishing boat, last mowing done, cut off all of the perennials, took down the birdbath, wrapped the apple tree......

I guess it is time to look at the winter kit for the car again.

It's been down in the 40's aroun here. Tonight we're looking at 1-3 inches of rain.

96 in Birmingham yesterday.

Too hot for me, dude.

What are you growing?

we are expecting so much rain around Minneapolis that they blew up the Black Dog Power Plant trying to get it sealed up,locked down--something like that..the coal storage area blew out the wall and last i heard they are making makeshift repairs before the rain really hits--pouring out now.no problem with electric service however as they can make it up from other stations..

Well above average here, 90s (80 is avg) with no rain for the past 3 weeks, chance of rain on Sun/Mon/Tues with temps only in the 80s.

Fall? The leaves haven't started to turn yet, for the most part.

I had 1 3/4" of rain when we left this morning. A little farther south they have a lot more. It's supposed to dry out this weenend though.

We didn't have much of a summer. We had a cold dry winter, a very wet spring, and now the trees are starting to turn. The young pullets never even started laying... probably from lack of sunlight, and now we're getting less.
