Aug. 31, 2006 - A Sound I haven't Heard All Summer
The lawnmower! We've had such a terrible drought, that the boys haven't had to mow since early June. NOTHING has been growing. Well, we finally got a bit of rain 3 weeks ago, then another shower 2 weeks ago, and last weekend, it rained 3 days in a row! The grass is beginning to get a green tint again, and the weeds are growing up where the grass was killed.
So dh has the boys out mowing to even things up and get it all off to a good start growing for fall.
The cows will sure be happy to have something green to eat again. We've been feeding them hay for the past month and a half.
It's been so nice temp-wise I've even been able to open my windows the past 2 days. Quite a change from the 100+ temps we had just over a week ago. Ahhh, a little sneak peak to fall.
I don't even *really* mind the sore throat that appears to be heralding in a summer cold (due to the sudden temp swing maybe?).

I was out random blogging and found you.
Wow!! Sounds like you deserved the nice "weather break"!!
I love this crisp, Fall weather! I have clothes on the line today. Soon I won't be able to enjoy the smell of clothes fresh off the line. Winter.... Burrr.... Sigh....
