Looked out my window this morning. The dominate color was yellow. Maples and white birch are my view. My driveway is littered with leaves, and the tops of one maple only has a few leaves left. Oaks and beach are still green. My vegetable garden is all but done for the season. The only thing that didn't go along with this picture was that it was 80 F today and way too humid. More like a day in July.
Time to clean out the garage so I can park my car in there. Also want to put getting a tune up for the snow blower on my list.
92 on friday, 88 saturday, 82 sunday, then hello 64 today. refused to burn untill mid October, but my 6 yr old asked me if we could have a stove fire today.
Pulled out our air conditioning as a precaution for Irene. Then Monday I paid my electric bill which was $40 higher than last month. Air conditioners are NOT going back in this year! Window fans will be about the only thing I'll use for the time being. From the looks of the long range forecast, we won't even need them. Now cool and damp.

Well, it started. The Boss started getting on me about being cool and the dampness. If I ignore her, she'll turn the furnace on. Can't have that. We usually don't use the back up of the furnace until Jan and Feb. So I turned the pellet stove on. A couple hours later you could really feel the difference. It had gotten too damp in here. The envelopes were sealed, and the printer paper wasn't moving through the unit as it should. This has to be among the wettest early fall seasons. I hope it isn't an indication of how bad the snow season will be. Last winter was about all the winter I would ever want to deal with.
While I am at it, thank you to whomever suggested using damp rid in the stove during the summer. Did it, and no evidence of rust seen. Thank you.
