The weather has definitely changed now, the wind is blowing pretty strongly out of the northwest and the angle of the sun is getting low in the sky. I can tell because it gets hard to see down into the water making my job just a little more difficult. The sky is that crystal clear blue that we get in clear cool air. The crickets are chirping steadily in the warm afternoons and getting in the house at every opportunity.
Our youngest son Nicholas left yesterday to study in Rennes France for four months. It was very sad to see him go but at the same time a proud moment to see him able to go. Packing the night before was a project that involved the entire family. I’m sure that he has too much of some things and nowhere near enough of others but he is packed and off on the adventure of his young life. If you are interested he is writing a blog here he is planning to keep us all filled in as his trip progresses over the fall.
Today we have been treated to a brisk northwest breeze and beautiful clear skies. You can tell that as soon as the sun starts toward the horizon that the temperature will drop. Fall is definitely on the way and the October upland season will be here soon. I am looking forward to spending time in the big woods at Libby Camps with the dogs enjoying the great October weather.
