COLD this morning!

[brooktrout]

Well, someone started a thread a couple weeks ago titled something like "you know it's close to burning season when...". Mysteriously, that thread dissapeared. But I'll tell you what- this morning, it was 39 outside, 62 in the living room. The wife says, "Maybe you should bring in some wood soon." Now THAT"S what I'm talkin' about ;-)

Things are a mite bit chilly up this way as well . . . and I noticed that some of the maples in the bogs have started turning color . . . and I even heard a few geese fly by when I was taking a break from cutting up firewood on Saturday.

Yep, 48 outside on the way to work this morning here in CT.

 

[HearthKB]

52 degrees out by me on Long Island. Not that cold but I did go back in the house to get a light jacket before heading off to work. Fall will be here soon enough and so will my new Woodstock Fireview.

It's 52 this AM here in NW Jersey near the Delaware Water Gap. I also heard some geese passing through the other day.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

52 when I got in the cah this morning. I picked up black walnuts and butternuts a couple weeks ago- very early! That's probably from the rain.

[gpcollen1]

Yup - no windows open on the drive in.

Squirrels knocking acorns all over the place on the oaks at work.

 

[Hanko]

I will still be trying to hold out till late November before I heat things up.
At night its been in the 50's but we are looking at 80's during the day & no rain for at least 5 days!

Not that I have enough, but peach pits must be a decent fuel.

[billb3]

I have geese here year round.
I WISH they would leave.
Darned things honk while flying and they fly around all night.

Too many ponds, too many fields around me.

I saw some geese flying on August 9 and thought that was odd. Shouldn't they have been in molt then?

We've had several nights into the 40's and last night was the coldest. We put an extra blanket on during the night and the house was all closed up too. I got up this morning thinking it was hunting season already!

Hey north, I'll be you are really appreciating the heat already. No frost here yet, but not far from it last night.

Curious what you burn for firewood. Poplar?

Let us know when the first snow flakes show up there.

Your right, you can't argue with the MIL or the wife. When I got married I sold my encyclopedia set on ebay. I had them advertised as " Great Encyclopedia set that will never be used again. Just got married - wife knows everything!"

Oh crap, I hope she doesn't read this.
