Summer lasts sometimes through November here. I usually watch the news and see it fall everywhere else except for here. This year though, it seems to still be summer in a lot of places. As I always say, Halloween just isn't Halloween when you're sweating in your costume!<br />Fall was my favorite season when I lived in New England, as it's such a beautiful time of year with all the colors. I hope it doesn't elude you (or me) for too long.

It's my favorite season and I'm afraid its going straight into freezing weather from the late summer weather we've been getting. The one plus though is that although dry now, we had adequate rain all summer so there isn't really a drought going on here. Hope you get some early winter rains to prepare you for next year.<br /><br />Speaking of fishing, now that farm work is just about wrapped up, I'm been hankering to get a day on the farm ponds with my family. I hope we can get that worked in before winter gets here!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-29245099676343260662016-10-30T11:07:33.251-05:002016-10-30T11:07:33.251-05:00Yes Kelly, it was, and given my roots, it is diffi...Yes Kelly, it was, and given my roots, it is difficult for me when Auburn plays Arkansas. But as I often say, Auburn didn't purchase my allegiance; I purchased it from them!<br /><br />The forecast for this coming week is more of the same. We need the rain more than the cooler temperatures.<br /><br />I caught a few crappie a couple of weeks ago but have not had the success (or frequency) you have. But always glad to get out when I can.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978016568840318921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-86959447982372983412016-10-30T10:53:20.467-05:002016-10-30T10:53:20.467-05:00We are having the exact same kind of weather, Bob,...We are having the exact same kind of weather, Bob, and are currently under a burn ban. The only indication of fall is the slant of light these days and the falling of leaves (probably from drought rather than the season!). One plus is that we've been able to get out and fish quite a few times this month. It's cool enough (relatively speaking) not to be miserable, yet not so cold that the fish have quit biting. We've had great success with both Bass and Crappie. <br /><br />I am not a football fan by any stretch of the imagination and have always had a mental block against the Razorbacks, but still... I understand that one was painful for AR fans! Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
