Summerfall?
The predicted high today is 78 degrees (26 C). What happened to fall?The beautiful ornamental cherry trees greet me on my way to work this morning.
An Old Cold Spot
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of the make and model that

We had a rare Indian summer day yesterday...it was beautiful, and just when we thought there would be no more warm days until Spring! But it sure wasn't 78! That's amazing!
And yes, I've wondered the same thing you posed in reply to me...what would our ancestors think to know their lives were presented to the world? It depends on who they were, of course, but I think some of them would have been downright flattered to be "famous" for a day. Kind of like being in the newspaper! :)
Loved your picture. That color of red is beautiful.
Come on over to the back porch. I'm having my 100th post, giveaway!

And your picture is just like a fall morning should be...crisp and clear. Nice job!
takes my breath away. seriously.
I'll take the upper 70s over the upper 80s any day! hee hee
Ours just arrived today. Cloudy, rainy and very cool. Got out the long sleeved T and the jeans jacket to go out and was a happy camper! It should be sweater weather by the weekend!
I hope yours flies in soon...it never stays long enough does it?
Hugs,

Global warming?
Although, that temperature in Autumn wouldn't be completely unexpected here.
Love those pretty red ones, though!
