That time of year…

Well, it’s happening.
The season of summer is passing by; I can feel the change in the air. Sure it’s still pretty hot and the lawn still needs to be mowed and trimmed. But the garden it is so done. For whatever reasons my attempts to grow a bunch of tomatoes and green peppers failed. In a big way failed. Total I got maybe a dozen tomatoes and one green pepper. Fail. And still I need to turn it all over and hope that maybe next year it will be better.

But more noticeable is our end-of-the-summer allergies, misery is moving in quick. The itchy eyes, tickle in the throat or unstoppable sneezing, fall allergies have arrived. And so yet again, I will keep the house closed up, a.c. turned on in a feeble attempt to keep some members of this household comfortable. Even though I shouldn’t say it, I can’t wait for the first frost to come along and put an end to this nonsense once and for all.

Yes, it is that time of year and all I can say is hurry up already.
