goldenrod is high

The goldenrod is blooming all over the place and has been for at least two weeks. Summer is finally sliding into fall and goldenrod is a sign of that. I'm already dreaming of crisp apples, plump pumpkins, and days without mosquitoes!

a little less summer

I could do with a little less summer heat right now. It seems like the entire summer has been one of waiting for safe temperatures to do things. I tend to be really sensitive to higher temps so heat makes me feel really miserable, so I've been hiding in the basement a lot. When I do stick it out and try to do things, I run out of energy sooner in the heat, and then end up needing more recovery time. I know so many people adore summer and despise winter, and I definitely don't like how dark it is in the winter, but I am waiting for some more reasonable temperatures so I can be more productive.
