    Cool, you have a 360 degree deck much like I do. The dogs think it's their race track!

    So that happens at your house too? Cool! :thumbsup:

    This is what happens as “east meets west” when our rotten hounds get to running circles. And it’s usually a very loud event...

    Yeah it's a racetrack with LOTS of deer, squirrel and rabbits to set them off. They LOVE it!

    I thought I'd provide an update on how quickly the weather and seasons can change in Garrett County.

    In only 20 days, the suns' setting position has moved significantly south. It's now way past "the trees" vantage point. And it will continue its course until the winter solstice in December.

    Fall is a beautiful time of year and begins earlier in the mountains. Its signs are easy to spot. Potted plants begin to lose their stamina and blooming stops. Trees like a butternut start to drop leaves early. Those yellow leaves in the pic of my driveway are the first of zillions from many trees to turn colors, enjoy for a while and then cuss at as we deal with cleaning them up.

    And, we all know what comes next. Having lived in this mountain climate for many years we are prepared for it.

    Enjoy and stay safe!

    :)

    It's "That Time" once again...

    Since I've been updating this thread for several years I thought I'd add to it.

    Yep, you guessed it, at my house the sun is setting exactly where it always does on around August 9/10. One of the "trees" is no longer there, but the sun doesn't care. The pic below was taken yesterday. Lots of foliage has grown in over the past couple of years, but I know where Mr. Sun will be in early August.

    We can't stop time. The seasons roll on while we're busy living. We all know those leaves will be turning colors pretty soon. Then we'll get to deal with them as we do every autumn. Then...we know what comes next ->:banghead:

    Y'all enjoy what's left of our summer. Stay safe and healthy!

    :thumbsup:

    Have been reading this a few years in a row now, I'm always surprised how quickly the time went. Seems like yesterday I was reading it for the first time.

    My wife hates it when I say "winter is right around the corner."

    When I was younger and would complain about the days dragging by, my mother would say, "wait until you get older, they will fly by then." She was right. :sad20:

    So I guess I'll be up in late January again for a Hooligan day. I'll even do the required no jacket picture in the snow.

    A few weeks ago i was working my arse off down at a jobsite and feeling pretty hot and dehydrated. Somehow thoughts of fall came to mind, and this thread that I look forward to. This morning I remembered it again.

    Hope you are doing well. I’m looking forward to fall.

    Farmers almanac is calling for a brutal winter this year.
    Don’t know about where you are but here…

    We’ve had a ton of rain here in the mountains this year. Aquifers and creeks are all as high as anyone can remember. That generally bodes for a major amount of snow. Watching the birds, bugs n animals work their butts off also suggests they know something we only suspect. Guess it’s time to bring the plow blade up the hill and face the tractor out in the garage. I’m guessing firewood is gonna be costly and hard to find as the locals are already angry about higher propane and electric costs. Putting covers on the faucet bibs outside come 1 October. Maybe I’ll finally get to use that hella snow blower…
