On a lighter note

[DogBuster]

September-October probably my favorite times of year

Finally a break in weather from the hot relentless sun

Way too many wildfires this summer…mostly human caused

Cool and crisp 50* this morning and 73* for the high

Third cut of hay down (pic) will be baled Saturday

A/C off….mountain snow expected on ridge tops above 10K’

Yes …High Unitas near Flaming Gorge on the list !

It’s been in the 60s to 70s here lately. My favorite time of year,
I love the smell of a fresh cut hayfield! Am I crazy if I like the occasional whiff of cow dung?

Every year I tell myself that "one of these years" I'm going to take the whole month of September off work. My favorite month of the entire year!
I settled for a week.

Nothing better than a whiff of fresh cow dung on a frosty morning. It takes me home when life was simpler.

I've been doing that for 15 years so far. I highly recommend it. My favorite time of year and my all time favorite poem is September, by Helen Hunt Jackson. I was introduced to the poem in my early grade school years. If you love fall and haven't read this poem I suggest it is worth looking up.

I'll bet that if all of us September babies were to step forward it would be a bunch. I'm one of em, and it seems like a high percentage of folks were born in September. I think we fell in love with being alive in September, and never got over it.

Pretty soon I will shoot after 8am. Best time of the year, fall. Goodbye summer.

I was raised around alfalfa and cattle for a large chunk of my life and i too miss the smells. Spent many hours with my grandpa in the cab of a new Holland swather. He also raised about 500 head of cattle. Now my dad just lets his friends cows graze his pasture so he does not have to mow it.

Count back 9 months. Cold, dark early, no tv or internet. I was born early August. My Dad got his Christmas present a little early.

Yes, that certainly is true.

An InterWeb search said August and September have the highest birth rate. Factors included the Holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the vacation time around those.

I'm a November kid, so my Folks got "randy" sometime in February. Maine is well known for its long, cold, dark nights that time of the year.

At a previous employer we could take up to 6 weeks off during the slow first months of the year. My plan was to take the 6 weeks and go to Europe and watch some of the early season cycling races in Portugal and Spain, see where my family came from, etc. Got everything together to do it and then Covid monkey wrenched it! Delayed but not cancelled, I'll still do it in between jobs in the next couple years.

Happy birthday Fuj. I was born on Friday the 13th but in November. I'm enjoying coffee myself and up here in North Florida the morning is starting to have a coolness about it.

My mother was born on Friday the 13th, graduated from her RN nurses training on Friday the 13th and married on Friday the 13th in September of 1947. I honored her with choosing #13 as my high school football jersey number.

I was born on a Thursday, Jan 13...just missed it! 13 is a baker's dozen, count yourself lucky if you get 13 donuts next time you order a dozen

Nights have been low 40’s, daytime highs around 70. Cow and calf elk have been passing through the yard. The bulls should start bugling any day now.

It’s still hot in Texas.

I think that is because our parents snuggled a little too much, under the blankets and quilts, on those cold Dec/Jan nights.
