Already it is feeling like fall. Before I left on vacation it was definitely summer; I was starting work early to avoid the heat of the day. Now after only a week I am starting a bit later to let the grass dry out. Normally I don't mow before 10 am to let the dew dry on the grass; now the grass isn't dry until 1 or 2 pm. The nights are cooler, the dew heavier, and starlings are massing in the farm fields.
