Well, it's a *little* early but we had out first killing frost this morning :ggreen: Got up at 0400 this a.m., went outside for a smoke (dont' smoke in the house, never have, never will, can't STAND the smell of smoke inside buildings YECK!) anyways, thought "Dam, it's COOL!" Went back in, looked at the thermo, said 34°, went back out at 0530 again, just enough daylight to make the lawn appear like it had a slight dusting of snow but alas, twas only the FIRST frost of the season. Went to work for a few hours, came home, conducted a walk through of the veggie gardens, GONE....squash, cukes, peppers, gords, ALL biffed it, pitch black leaves...the tomatoes faired well however, but everything else, gone for the season *sigh*...I love Autumn but I hates to see the veggies die :(

We had our first frost August 16 but downtown it didn't officially freeze until September 2.

The weather has been really nice though. It can be pretty cold and hot in September, but it's probably the nicest month of the year. It's been as cold as 12F or as warm as 97F in September, but nothing extreme on either end and the colors are nice.
