A summer to remember...In our forty years on Barton Heights I think this summer stands out as one with warm days and nights...June and half way through September we have gone without turning on the heater in the living room to take the chill off the early morning....Our valley is notorious for its cool nights and early mornings, nice for sleeping but not very conducive for growing vegetables...Many years by the first week in September we have already had one killing frost before going into "Indian Summer" with temperatures staying warm but the cucumber and tomato vines all dead...This year they are still green and growing but after the last two nights of temps in the low 40's I think they are doomed!..Herb and I were both up very early this morning and have the little heater on to ward off the morning chill...We welcomed a nice steady rain yesterday that freed us from the endless watering...The cold and wet outside this morning will force me to balance the checkbook and pay some bills...Hugs To All...OWAV:) P.S. Herb just reported that there is snow on Ruby Peak!
