Mr. Groundhog Predicts an Early Spring

Nashville’s sky was covered with snow heavy winter clouds this morning, so there was no way a groundhog could have seen his shadow.

I know that the groundhog in Pennsylvania supposedly saw his shadow up there, but let’s be honest. Pennsylvania weather is nothing like Nashville weather. I bet on any given day the temperatures here are at least 6 – 8 degrees warmer than anywhere in Pennsylvania. We’ll have spring before Pennsylvania every year and this year I bet we have spring weeks before the northern states.

70’s in November!

Wow! What a weather perfect weekend this is going to be! The forecast is for sunny days with temperatures in the 70’s and no rain for several days in the foreseeable future! This is perfect weather for doing fun things outdoors, like rock climbing, exploring the lakeshore, or even raking leaves and pruning shrubbery. This is the weather we should have had last month – it’s very unusual for November.

There is football on TV this afternoon and tomorrow, but the weather is too nice to be sitting inside watching a TV. I’m going to make the most of the nice weather and stay outside as much as I can!

End of summer is near

Well the end of summer is near. It is almost time for the kids to go back to school and then right after that the weather will change and start to cool off. It will be time to put away the flip flops and dig out the boots and jackets. I love wearing my boots, but I always miss my sandals. I can’t believe that autumn is so close. It seems like summer just got here and now it is almost gone.

Where did the time fly to? I have no idea, but I think I had better make the most of what is left of summer. Perhaps a couple of trips to the sand bar down at the river, or to the creek bottom where we gather to swim. I refuse to let anymore of summer get away from me. So I am out of here to go find something to do. Later Gators.
