Do You Feel A Nip In The Air?😊 My Actifit Report Card: August 6 2025

Do you feel a nip in the air?☺️
Not quite yet my friends, it’s still Summer!😎
Silvertop, did you snap the first and second photos last Fall?🤔
Summertime in the Pacific Northwest, is extremely dry. This time of year just like clockwork, all the trees start dropping leaves to conserve moisture!
I can’t remember the last time it rained……………🤔
Hiking home last night I snapped the third photo……….my friends, the rain is coming!😅
Silvertop has been feeling “Pushed” to finish stacking my latest firewood acquisition!😇
Late last night it started……………..
“Well Silvertop, I guess I don’t need to water my garden today Lol!”🥰
Growing up in Cincinnati, I am used to Summer thunderstorms!
Dark clouds will quickly roll across the Ohio River valley. With an impressive flash of lightning, followed by a loud window rattling “Boom” of thunder, a fast and furious downpour will follow!😮
Then…. Just as quickly the Sun comes back, the storm is over!😊
In the Northwest think “Garden soaker hose” Lol!😅
The ground has been dusty dry, we really did need a good soaking!
By Noon the rain finally stopped, I went back to stacking…………..
You are looking at five cords of firewood……. Two solid winters of firewood stacked!
You can see in the following photo, that I still have much more to stack!😅
Look closely to the right just behind my “Mountain” of firewood that I still need to stack!😇
Silvertop had a “supervisor” today Lol!☺️
This is probably one of the baby Deer that grew up in Silvertop’s woods!
She was content…..she munched on Apples as I stacked firewood, not concerned about this human making a racket dropping firewood in a wheelbarrow!
“You are safe here little girl , and tell your friends that we have plenty of Apples……all are welcome!”😍
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊

Sort:  

While it's true that the leaves do drop to conserve water, I did notice two things that I found interesting today on the way home.

First- the organic blueberry farm has bushes that are actually turning red-the traditional fall color for those bushes. If they were conserving, they would just drop yellow leaves.

Second, a little further towards home, the Sumac trees have the same phenomenon going on. Their leaves are turning the brillian shade of red that comes in the fall.

I'm not presuming anything with this, but you have to admit; it does give one food for thought!

That just means we are going to have a very early bitter cold Winter in August Lol!🤣😇🥰

🤣🤣🤣

Come get MOONed!

Summer isn't over yet thank goodness! Glad you are getting that wood stored away and you'll be set for this winter and a few more. What a cute deer, they must be used to you if they don't get scared off when you're moving that wood!

I think this is definitely one of the babies from last year!😊
She was out by my wood pile, watching me stack firewood again today, more inquisitive than worried!😇😍
