summer

[justplugit]

Sleigh bell crickets out tonight, usually means 6-8 weeks till frost.

Where did this summer go.

they be singing here too.. we won't see frost till November..

i'm looking forward to September.. October.. November.. even December.. best 3 months coming for sure.

what the hell are sleighbell crickets for crying out loud

is that the corus when jiminey Cricket sings or what?

it snows on halloween now!

but on thanksgiving the worms are out on
the tar driveways after a gentle warm rain

Rav, if you listen closely, they sound like the old bells they used to have on the horse drawn sleighs.
Waaay before your time, and actually mine too.

Clammer would prolly remember.

The old farmers used to predict the first frost by them,
but over the last 25 years they haven't been that accurate with frost not coming till November some years.

ahhh ok

and just where do i find these ancient sleighbells
(probably before the model T arrived on the scene...)

the Smithsonian museum

It's 20 minutes after 7 in the evening and it's 90 degrees with the humidity over 50 per cent. Summer is alive and well down here.
