Re: What Will Be the First Signs of Autumn?

We have a large tree (one of many) out back, and at the very top, where most affected by sunlight, you see the red when it starts coming through.

 

I haven't seen any hummingbirds here this year. I assume it's the cat that lives next door. But off the deck, I haven't seen them either.  Did discover about a week ago, a bee's nest in some bushes.  I have a new respect for "busy as a bee" now.  Those bees really are busy. They don't bother us,

The sky turning a darker blue. Always notice that first.

I first notice the leaves changing on the trees and the weather getting much cooler at night.  It is a beautiful time of year except for some of the bees going crazy.  Heart

It's all that overtime!  We're exhausted!

OK!  Those chilies are a real treat for me.  I freeze a lot of them every year


@Sooner

 

They've shipped early this year!  An early harvest and a new variety.  I think they're calling it "Miss June."  It's larger and hotter!  Can't wait to meet her.

@Sooner  I already covered the balloon fiesta, but you might be interested to know the chili harvest is early this year and has already started.   I'm one of the cowards who gets it "on the side".  Don't like a lot of heat. 


@Kachina624

 

I already alerted @Sooner about the larger, tastier (hotter!) variety that's being introduced this year.  If you don't like it hot, watch out for "Miss June."

@Kachina624  OH BOY THANK YOU!!!!!  I am going to OKC Wednesday and Whole Foods sells them roasted and peeled in plastic boxes.  They may not be the cheapest, but dang one year I roasted about 15 pounds of them on the grill and in our kitchen and I decided money is no object for roasted fresh peppers!!!  LOL!!!!


@Sooner

 

You might be due for a road trip!  (I hope you were wearing gloves when you were working with those chiles!)
