The Farmer's Almanac said fog at this time of year fortells a harsh winter. Well, if that's true, we're about to have a harsh winter. I've noted 15 days with fog at Black Cat this month. That's half the month, and we're not even into the "lake fog" season yet. That starts mid-September, usually.

Wow, pine cones, acorns, sunspots, fog... thanks for sharing some of the other signs! (I never knew which caterpillar stripes were which, thanks CLA!) Looks like we're splitting an extra cord of wood! Last year was harsh enough! I wonder how many new boats that we bought for our plow-guys last winter!
Maybe it's time to put a plow on the Volvo!
sheesh!
