Our week looks similar - temps in the mid-70’s, sunny or mostly sunny days .... just spectacular!
Unfortunately, the mowing I’m doing this weekend won’t be the last. Typically, my last mowing is around Veteran’s Day to mid-November. We just had 2.5 inches of rain between Wed nite & Fri morning .... that will keep things growing for a while. The grass hasn’t done the big “slow down” in growth yet - growth might be off slightly. Our maples are showing some color, so Fall is definitely here. My Celebrities are still producing - mom picked a big bowl of tomatoes two days ago - she’ll be giving some of them away.
As of this evening, I’m on dog/chicken sitting duty for a week. I call the chickens the “Rowdy Girls” .... they like to peck - toes are the main target (but I know better than to wear flip flops after the first toe pecking) & one snuck up behind me and pecked me HARD in the calf - really hurt. Sunset is earlier now, around 7, so I don’t have to wait so long for them to go in the coop to roost. I’ll have fresh eggs for the week :-)
Hurray for Fresh Eggs!
I HATE that it gets so dark, early - but it DOES settle down all the critters, which is appreciated after LONG Summer Days!
That stretch from Daylight Savings Time (WHY DO WE DO THIS?) until December 21st is always hard on me. I’m a Leo - we NEED Sunlight! ;)
