I stay in summer mode until the Autumnal Equinox. I've always heard of Labor Day referred to as the "unofficial" end of summer.

Here, it does feel like someone flips a switch after Labor Day. Almost immediately the days are noticeably shorter and high temps are lower. I realize the transition is at least theoretically more gradual than that. But next week we have a couple of days with highs in the mid-60s. Brrrrr ....

sounds like heaven to me!

I seem not to be adapting well to the shortening of days. Once it's dark, I keep feeling that it should be about an hour later than it actually is. Right now I feel like it should be 10:20 p.m., but it's only 9:20 p.m.

I went out at about 5:30 pm and started pruning my cherry tree. Many suckers have come up from the ground so, in no time at all, I had a pile of trimmings higher than me. I also cut down a stand of Northern oat grass that had grown so tall that I couldn't even see my pond. What good is a pond that you can't even see? It was a relief when night fell and I could go in. Whew!
