The end of summer has started

We packed a family into the Eagle Cap Wilderness over July 4th Holiday in a rainstorm. It turned to snow and they walked out the next morning.

Wisdom has 40 frost free days a year on average. July is about all you get for summer there.

There's a 90% change you get at least 7 frost free days in Stanley

In 1974 our crew were working in upper Slough creek in the Absarokees in mid August. We got snowed in for 5 days and when we got out we found out Nixon had resigned.

I looked in my closet. Everythong says carhart except those labled woolrich.

A few years ago we were camping in ID with the fam. July 31 it snowed, and two days later while in Stanley we woke to 28 and heavy frost.

Mid 30’s in Stanley on the 10 day!

Lots of geese flocking up and starting to hear crickets around. Always a dead giveaway.

Yup, geese flocking up here too. Mallards are leaving a Federal Refuge on our side of the border in the mornings, crossing into Canada to feed (I'm guessing on harvested winter wheat) then returning to the Refuge around mid morning by the hundreds.

Late summer here in NM. 50's -90's daytime. Monsoons. Saw a freshly destroyed pinion yesterday.

Lake trout next week in SW Colorado...we've had snow in August on the loop in years past. The grandkids have been telling me Colorado stories all week.

Woolrich and Carhart make thongs. Learn something new every day!

Geese and gulls are bunching up here. Also, high 40s overnight. Can't wait for fall.

I did notice the geese were bunching up. I thought that was a bit early, but I did see it.

Had a bunch of bulls in the yard this morning. The velvet is gone.

Was working up in a mountain subdivision last weak and it sounded like the rut was going every morning

We were talking about how odd Halloween is going to be this year for the kids. Going to have to get creative and knock on each bedroom/bathroom door to trick or treat or something like that. It'll be here before we know it.

74 for the low here this morning. Heat index is currently 105 and still rising....

Opening weekend has come and gone. Glassed up 5 bucks (3 were Legal) in my cousin's hayfield. Nothing that excited me. Spent 4 days painting the house and will spend another week of evenings doing trim and touch ups.
