WTF News- August 30, 2013

When it rains, it pours...and then rains again.

 

I think this will go down as the summer of rain for NC.  As I look at the waist high crabgrass in the garden (head high in spots) it's hard to believe that Labor Day weekend is finally here.  For me, it usually represents that closure of summer and an end to the long humid days of July and August but not so much this year.  It's an odd feeling to be going into fall after such a mild and wet summer.  Almost as though we've missed out on something by not having those unbearable, sweltering days.  This marked our 15th summer as WTF (and nearly my 40th overall) and as far as I can remember this is the first August that there weren't days that forced us into starting early in the morning, knowing it was going to be 90 degrees by 10am and triple digits after lunch.  I guess it's like going for a hike and not getting poison ivy, it's nice it worked out that way but there's still the feeling that something is missing.
