  1. Hey heads up to Connecticut peeps my vet said that Fairfield County has reported the presence of Gulf Coast Ticks for the first time. They can carry spotted fever and some nasty canine diseases.
  2. I mowed yesterday and wondered if I'd need to even mow again this year? Prolly just once more.
  3. This is a good deal if you want to hit a bunch of the smaller classic New England mountains. https://www.indyskipass.com
  4. Download the “picture this“ app. It will identity any plant or tree.
  5. That plus being the beneficiaries of countless 20 minute downpours. It was almost daily for like 2 weeks.
  6. Rain deficits are certainly going to creep up again in some areas. I love a warm dry September, summer extended.
  7. NW MA (Franklin and N Berkshire County) had close to 6” but was isolated to this area for the most part.
  8. Part of the infamous “Bridgewater triangle”.
  9. There are only one or two people here looking for a 1938 redux because they somehow cannot comprehend the implications of such an event.
  10. Need a higher res picture to enlarge but maybe a yellow mud-dauber? Unless it is a yellow jacket or white faced hornet nest I try to leave them alone. A lot of hornets and wasps are good for killing non-beneficial insects. "Solitary" ground wasps/hornets are generally beneficial for the local ecosystem.
  11. I have once again given up on lawn maintenance for the year. Focusing on the flower beds and cleaning up downed trees and branches in our woods. In ground vegetable garden was poor at best due to the wet then drought June -> July but containers did fantastic. Next year veggies are all going container and raised bed auto water.
  12. On another note, walking the dog this morning, I could not help but notice that the maple trees are already raining down pale green leaves. Quick foliage season upcoming?
  13. Nice! You go Bob, you have been the summer of yore winna'! 79/50 here. trying to wrap things up at the brewery and take the kid hiking this afternoon. cocadoodledoo.
  14. A few years ago we got our house completely re-insulated and sealed plus all new lightbulbs for free through the MassSave program. they also gave us a no interest loan for a new furnace. People should definitely take advantage of these programs while they are active. I wish we could’ve taken advantage for the great solar programs in Mass but our yard has a few too many trees.
  15. Except you will probably watch one into Florida one into Carolinas and a few recurves.
  16. Same thing all over Cape Cod. In some cases they build almost exact replicas of the older houses they tear down on the coast line.
  17. Rainy morning followed by misery mist and sheet drizzle all day today. .50” new. I would say the drought is pretty much over here.
  18. Ya' a good old direct hit from an X class solar flare should level the automation playing field on planet Earth. I mean why not right? DIT and others can wish for a 1938 Hurricane why can't I cheer on a Carrington type event?
  19. I'm guessing 50% of remaining independent bars and restaurants go under this winter. Sad but true.
  20. If furnaces were kicking on people need better home insulation.
