It's kind of hard to believe that we're into August already! This year's young birds are mobbing the feeders and water pan in droves include a group of 8 young Orioles, lots of Blue Jays, and even a few Hermit Thrushes. Nights are cooler with temperatures dropping into the 50s but the days are bright and warm. I've harvested the early onions, the peas are done, but still no tomatoes. The squash are into a routine of two or three fresh ones each week. Life is good.
But that will change, the cool nights will linger longer. The days will continue to grow shorter. The Fall radish and lettuce will soon be sprouted. After the first frost - late in September, it will be time to get ready for Autumn. The hunters will be in the woods and things will settle down for winter.
Sigh, What happened to Summer?

I agree with you - can't believe it's August. Felt like fall in Michigan today!
