it's going to top out at 85 degrees today but there are signs of fall's approach.
in the last 10 days or so i've seen starlings and blackbirds starting to flock up and line up on the wires in the country. the crickets are extremely loud! (did you know that you can tell the outdoor temp by adding up a cricket's chirps over 14 seconds and adding 37 to it?)
there is a distinctive feel in the evening air.
i have zucchini the size of torpedoes as i can't give any more away!
tomatoes are ready but i'm not! still have tons of salsa from last year. at least i didn't plant 20+ plants like i did in 2006--i like romas for salsa--they're the meatiest, fewer seeds and juice.

the brown-eyed susies are also in their glory right now. when the dominant colors in my gardens turn to the warm hues of yellows and golds i know fall is on the way. summer is never long enough for me.
