I've heard that some parts of the country have had very hot/humid weather this summer. We were fortunate to come out of a cooler/wetter spring/early summer into slightly warmer summer, but not hot summer.

My current tenant in the nice rental house does yard projects and hauls stuff to the dump. Someone had him dismantle an antique wagon, and he brought the wheels home. It's not something I'd seek out, because for one I wouldn't know how to get them here, but they lend a nice rustic air to the driveway as you enter the property.



Because of the wetter weather, the wildflower seeds in a planter and scattered around the bare spots did well this year. I've promised myself to do it again next year, even if I have to water them every day.



We have yet to have a killing frost, and our days, even this late in September, are summer-like. So far this year we haven't had wildfires - thanks to that wetter weather.

We are down to one baby fox that comes in the night, and I don't think it's been here lately. There will always be foxes around, and we certainly enjoyed watching that big family of them this summer.
