I'm all for Mother nature doing her thing.  She knows what's best for the plants and animals.  But, I don't know about these hot spells.  I must talk to her about that.  

 

If it were up to me, I'd skip Summer, but I know I'll never convince her of that.

Re: Fall is still a month away

Harvest begins the second week in August, so it’s fine to decorate in mid-August, especially if it’s cooler where you live. Beginning yesterday and through all next week, it’s supposed to be about 20 degrees cooler than is typical for this time of year. I’m putting up my harvest decor next weekend.

Re: Fall is still a month away

@Junebug54  I love fall! And this year I am so ready for it. While fall doesn't actually happen until the 21st of September, or there aboust, I always start preparing early. Harvest starts in August. We start freezing corn right about now. Tomatoes and any other veggies get frozen too. In a few weeks we will freeze groundcherries. I like to make applesauce after the first frost, so not sure when that will happen. All that being said, I'm going to start to take down my summer decor and putting up my fall decor this weekend.

@Daisy Sunflower  There is no place like home.  I have lived in San Diego, San Francisco and a short while in Virginia and Mississippi.

Re: Fall is still a month away

All I know is it is cooler and dry and so comfortable, I’m a happy woman !  The weather channel website says more of the same through next week. I’ll take it !

Re: Fall is still a month away

It was almost 100 degrees today. The rest of the week will be mid to high 90s. I won't pull out fall/ winter clothes until October. I will just have to burn fall candles and dream of autumn. I did order the plaid Cuddleduds cardigan TSV.
