The temps say it is still summer

Temps during the day this week -- mid to upper 90s. It was 100 when we were in town this afternoon.

But the Spider lilies say it is fall.



Autumnal Equinox later this week. I love seeing the Spider lilies in the fall. It is crazy. They can not be there one day, then after a rain they'll be 4-6 inches tall, or more!

I did a little mowing this morning. Middle son landed a part-time job, so I went out for a bit until about noon. I could tell when I started getting.. the first touches of too much heat. I was drinking plenty of water, but that doesn't always help. I got inside fine, though. No graying of the vision or anything like that. I did get the slight pressure in my head that said I was getting too warm. I decided to listen to that today. :)

But I will probably go out again in a day or two. Pecan season is almost here. Need to get ready!


Sorry for the blur. My phone camera doesn't like to take a picture of what I'm looking at. Ha!
I picked that pecan and cracked it open after I came in. Shared it with hubby. He said "I could eat more of those." :)
How do we get ready for pecan season, you may ask? We mow crop circles, basically. With the pecan tree in the middle. Mow a circle that is as big in diameter as the branches are sticking out from the tree. Long grass may be good for hunting rabbits; but short grass is better for picking pecans.

You all be safe, and God bless.
