I am very happy that summer is almost at an end. I care not that it is officially fall...that doesn't mean a lot in "Indian summer" where it's just as hot as regular summer. On the plus side, those hot days are now fewer and further between.
I have had my house painted and patched and fumigated and the yard has been pruned and festooned with pine straw, etc. Am ready and eager for winter, actually.
That presumes we will have one this year. We didn't have much of one last year.
