At least fall is on schedule every year for you. For us it seems to get later and later every year.

Usually the 4th of July weather sets the tone for the rest of the summer. But I can tell you regardless of that year's weather, the fall color will always peak October 8-10. And the first peony always magically seems to open on my birthday. This year will be the ultimate test! My peonies are barely awake.

For some reason I'm conscious of it in fall and winter, but not so much spring. That's probably because the heat starts nipping at our heels about this time of year and snow is just hard to imagine.HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-31658866549760314532014-03-19T14:15:40.532-07:002014-03-19T14:15:40.532-07:00Well, I won't be complaining (too loudly, anyh...Well, I won't be complaining (too loudly, anyhow) about trying to beat the snow then! Trying to beat the heat... huh. Funny, it never crossed my mind that some folks might have that to worry about. Hopefully you'll have time to get everything done!<br /><br />It is funny how we automatically do certain things during different seasons. It is like you said, "dates marked only in our minds," I like that, it's so true. Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648018886078435657noreply@blogger.com
