Mid-August?

The weather has been pretty mild and dry.  It sort of feels like late September, and to add to that effect, we have maple leaves turning in our front yard and apples are ripening!  I picked a couple pumpkins today (one I think is the best we have had here) so I guess you could call them Assumption Pumpkins.  I am still seeing a few fireflies in the evening, however.  Today I joined the girls briefly at a local go-kart place.  Katie (and Kris) got to steer a little dune buggy.  Katie also had her first soccer practice of the season this evening.
