Title: Frosty White & 27.1 Degrees Here On Fletcher Road
Post by: Henry on October 07, 2008, 07:05:46 AM
Not a cloud in the sky, bright sunshine and the occasional colored leaf floating down from the big maples in the front lawn.  It got down to 27.1 degrees and at 8 a.m. it was 30 degrees.

We are headed for a warm-up later in the week now, but for sure, the gardens are done with.  Saw Orman Ovitt out on Sunday afternoon with his grass-catcher behind his lawnmower picking up leaves.  As for me, since I live out here in the country, will hope for a good South wind at which time I will then put on my winter jacket, jump on my John Deere, power up the mower and go out and blow what leaves I have to the wind.  Were I living in the village or city, the neighbors might get a little upset at that.

It is definitely fall.
