After missing out on summer, fall is starting to make itself known in this part of the world. I have this chill in my bones from the -50 below temperatures we experienced over the winter (which I’m told is unusual). I’d hoped I would thaw out this summer, but it turns out summer never came. We had a deluge of wet cool days for almost the entire summer. I’m told there were a few warm dry days here, but I was away on business and missed them completely. I am going to be making a pilgrimage to North Carolina for a couple of weeks at the end of the week. I am hoping to enjoy a little warmth and sunshine while I’m there. Otherwise, I’m going to feel like I was completely robbed. For the record this was an unusual summer season. Last year it did get warm (not hot) and it wasn’t very wet, and that I think is more the norm.
