Title: First Weekend of Autumn And The End Of Summer 2011. For Saturday Night
Post by: twyacht on September 24, 2011, 06:05:03 PM
Noticing on the Weather Channel, summer is over for you Northern folks. Hope your summer was a good one. My planting season is just getting started.

All the best this first Fall weekend DRTV. Thought I would post one of my favorite summer tunes.

Like most good songs there's a remake.

Lets see, in 1972, I was 15 and taking driver education that summer.

Tommy, you were still around zero, maybe 1!

 ;D ;D ;D

Good tune regardless!

I was 5 and going to Matheson Hammock Park, just outside Coconut Grove, in South Miami with my Mom, when you didn't have to know Spanish. :-\

I still have this on vinyl...... :P

The truly younger one's won't understand. ;)

Had several things planned for today, but went with plan "B".  Hooked up the BushHog and went chopping weeds along the drainage ditch, rode a few rounds in the combine with the renters, visited with the rest of the renting family, and dug potatoes in the garden.  Fall is here!  And, the corn crop on mother-in-law's land is very very very good. 

It has been a tough crop year here, like many other areas of the nation, but this corn is only showing a 15% dip from recent highs.  Of course m-i-l's land represents abut 8% of their corn ground, but it has improved their spirits for the week.

Happy planting twyacht!  I hope your growing season goes better than ours.

It got up to 80 today so it still feels like summer. I already mowed down all my wildflowers wich I normally do in late fall. They were petering out anyway so they're all gone and I didn't save any seeds this time. Now I have to trim my roses which I'm not looking forward to.

Certainly not on any scale comparable to yours, but just a fair sized back yard garden that gets better every season.

,....and home of my "Monster Maters",.... :o  Trophy from last winter. (yes Jan. Feb. are mater months)

It was a German Heirloom, and me and the wife made homemade BLT's on sourdough, with applewood smoked bacon, and Romaine,.

It was fantastic. I just crave the fried green ones in Jan. when I watch the news about the North East/ Midwest getting the next blizzard.... :P
