Well, here it is, September already. It's hard to believe that summer is over. It's especially hard to believe it when the temperatures are actually higher than they were for most of the summer!
Yesterday, Labor Day, we actually worked. We did several jobs that have been waiting to be done for quite some time, and I am happy to have them officially "scratched off" of the to-do list.
Today, as I was driving, I noticed many woolie worms. I started to count them, but there were so many that it was distracting, so I stopped counting at 34. Every single one of them (the 34 I counted plus all the rest that I saw) were black! In addition, they were ALL traveling southwest! Yes, every single one --- traveling southwest. So, you ask? Well, of course, they are not 100% accurate, but the message they're sending is this: If you can't spend the winter in Arizona, you'd better buy thermal underthings and stock the pantry. Winter will arrive on or about December 20th, and it will last well into March 2009. The "January thaw" will be late, and heating costs will be at an all time high!
But, what do woolie worms know? Do you remember last winter? Last year's worms predicted a mild winter, early spring and drought for May and June.
Well, enough nonsense! It's a gorgeous day here in SE Iowa, and I'm going to get out there and enjoy it!

Don't you just hate being inside on a beautiful day? I think we have to store those away in our memory banks so we can think about them during not-so-beautiful days.
