    Wind is blowing the trees....................

    That old familiar practice tells me fall is in the air.

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.

    The end of last week we had highs in the low 80's. Today it's mid-90's with the heat index over 100. Sweated up my tee shirt before 11am in the shade. Glad I'm near the house so I can grab another.

    Yep, I have to agree, and was saying the same to my bride just yesterday. I expect to see dew on the grass any day now. Night time temps in the 50's. Harvest starting to ramp up.

    Hi...
    Currently 93°F with off the charts humidity here in South Central Pennsylvania.
    Not a breath of wind to be found.
    Fall seems a long way off...

    You fellas got it all wrong. Wind is caused by the trees waving their limbs to dissipate heat and stale air. GW

    Here in New Hampshire the REAL "turning the corner" of summer are the crickets. You don't hear them until about mid August. THEN you know it won't be long until fall.
    It is 95 today but a week ago we were in the low 50's overnight.
    The crickets know.......

    90 here today in. Central NY, but there are many signs of an early fall. It can turn here very quickly.

    Low 90's low humidity wind blowing but the leaves are drying and starting to fall from the trees, so fall is not to far down the road. Hope for a long fall instead of summer to winter. We don't seem to have the nice pleasant long fall weather anymore that I remember from my youth.

    I'm moving into old phart territory, have lived in West TN my whole life, and it's been 2 weeks of Spring, 9 months of Summer, 2 weeks of fall, and 2 months of Winter for as long as I can remember. Spring goes from a jacket to can't breathe over night, while Summer goes from still can't breathe to need a jacket over night.

    Leaves are falling off the Post Oaks, it's cooler in the morning now, but I haven't smelled that Fall smell yet. Shouldn't be long.

    I've seen orange wooly worms by the hundreds in south east Illinois. Only a couple black ones.

    "turning the corner" of summer are the crickets here they are just trying to cool off. Been chirping for a week in the evening, saw a wedge of geese couple weeks ago - headed south. Locust are noisy now too. Hummers have gone to Mijico already. Only doves I hear about are in town. Must be the fires have screwed them up. We're getting smoke warnings from the west coast fires.
    Whatever!

    Well tell it to hurry up and get to the ground. I'm tired of this heat!
