9/18/08 The End of a Season

Here's the National Weather map for tonight for Maine. A little part of the state is having a frost advisory and the whole rest of the state, including Farmington, is having a freeze warning. Bring in the pumpkins and the last of your peppers from the garden. ;-) [No, I do NOT have a garden with peppers or pumpkins or anything else that could get damaged by freezing temps.]

Think back to the blog entry about goldenrod. On 8/2/08 I learned the legend that 6 weeks after the goldenrod blooms, you'll have your first frost. That was 6 and a half weeks ago. :-)
