Not too hot, not too cold, we're in between summer and fall. The leaves are fading, but haven't started to turn to fall colors. The flowers are gone except for some of those specific to fall. The vegetables in the garden are giving up the ghost.
This morning the fox was almost shivering in his summer coat. He is running behind on growing back his winter coat.
Here he is last September when his coat was further along:

It was 33C/91F today but next week the highs will be 19C/66F. Such a big difference.
Sure love that fox. I wonder how he gets through the winter. Ed and I had renters in our first house (next door) and they were picky beyond belief, she spilled nail polish on the bathroom tile, covered it over with an area rug, they took the glass doors off the dvd player on the bottom of the TV stand; they complained because we didn't have double locks and they were on their honeymoon!
I really love the fox picture.... thank you for always posting them and keeping us updated on him.
This is my favourite time of year. Perfect for sleeping at night but warm afternoons spent in the back yard.
The fox must have been very busy with his kits. He looks thin and has probably had a bigger litter to provide for this year.
The weather here is perfect! Cool at night, hot late afternoon & evening. Peas & green beans have given up, swiss chard, carrots, beets & squash are doing amazing! Not sure yet if I'll get many tomatoes.
Very similar here... some leaves are down and the tomatoes turn pinkish and the squash are seedy... it's almost over... The long winter.... hopefully spring will come early next year like it did two years ago. This was a very short summer, although work on the roof still needs to be completed before the snow flies... which could happen in small amounts within a month. Geez, I'm depressing myself.
Look like he needs to put on some weight there.Yes,the fall look is here in New England.The sounds and smell.Leaves are fading. But still very nice and dry.This is the way that I liked it.
We have seen a fox in our neighborhood but only once. We have coyotes that keep the fox away. Did the people come to the Brown Palace last week? Will they be back? It is a beautiful sunny day in the 70s here today. Perfect. Cold front coming next week.
We are having a beautiful day today-0-so far not even rain clouds!!!
What is that in the first picture on the lower left next to the black figamigjig---a rock? An animal?
The tip tops of my neighbor's maple tree are turning red.
