ma nature: August 2006 Archives

I woke up this morning to the most beautiful, glorious, welcome sound I could possibly hear. It was the sound of geese making goose noises as they flapped through the air. It signals that fall is on its way.

Unlike climberchica who dreads the end of summer, I long for it. Especially this year. This summer has been ridiculously hot. We had weeks where the daytime highs barely dipped below 100 degrees. It was nasty hot ... the kind of hot where you do anything to avoid leaving your house. And I hate living like that ... I LIKE leaving my house and going outside!

Oh, but fall is on its way! And with fall comes crisp cool air and PERFECT mountain biking weather!! I'm hoping that we will be rewarded for our unreasonably hot summer with an early fall. I really can't wait.
