Now We’re Talking Fall
After two record setting (for all of October) 90+ degree days and an upper 70s day yesterday, our normal fall weather seems to be upon us. While it was neat, and a bit odd, that my kids were able to play in the hose and their pool in October (you’re usually lucky if you can do that in mid-September), I am ready to be able to open the windows up in the afternoon to get the cool breeze flowing through the house.
The main downside that I see is that my pepper plants are probably going to bite it. We’d had a decent first crop, but with the warm weather the plants began to flower again a few weeks ago and there are a ton of new peppers growing. No such luck with the tomatoes though.
Anyway, I think I’m going to have to retire the shorts for the season and break out the jeans and long-sleeved shirts. And then to make a run for new clothes for the kids once we figure out what still fits and what doesn’t.
