Augdewst 2026: Summer's Last Stand

Does anyone else have acorns coming down ? Medium sized green ones . Started a few weeks ago and getting worse which means anger 

Might be bitternut hickory? We’ve had a bunch of those dropping out in the back usually starting around mid summer and going right through early fall. I always see squirrels and deer gobbling up the little nuggets at the odd ends of the day. Plus they hurt like hell if you’ve ever happen to stumble on one of those!

edit: does this one look similar? (Took this a couple years back)

Looks like pignut. I personally don't like this stuff. It doesn't split. If they grow straight they're actually a beautiful tree. Bright yellow in the fall.

Days are starting to get shorter, fall is lurking, and less than 5 months from Christmas, but Summer wants to remind everyone it is still summer. Dews For Days in the LR on both the GFS and EURO. Looking toasty.

 

(really would have come up with something more consise but been dealing with a persistent migraine attack for the last week and a half)

I still think it is funny that some local TV media will fcst highs something like 77-84, and call it "hot."  Gotta push that heat all the time!

He lost his sixth toe in a lawnmower accident.

A guy I golf with lost almost three of his toes to a lawn mower (not the guy pictured). He was 10 and pushing up a hill and it rolled back on him. His mother ran out in a panic and poured rubbing alcohol on it. I don't blame her but they couldn't reattach the toes because of it.

You have to ask yourself, "why wouldn't the air dry out AM to PM on a sunny day? " "Thankfully" for what?  Diurnal temp range the the sun coming up???   Was the AM moisture causing "problems?  Fluff post (the X link)!
