Feels Like Fall

Even though we are a week and a half into August, our weather feels more and more like September.  When we drove to Crookston on Saturday morning, we could see the green leaves on several of the trees were beginning to fade and get a yellowish tinge to their color.  Our days have been very sunny with low humidity with temps just reaching the low 70's.  I think, and hope, our real hot weather is behind us.  Right now it is very enjoyable walking early in the morning with just enough nip in the air to keep the insects away.  We have noticed that some of the birds have left--when we returned home from our trip, the Magpie family was gone.  Not just  the babies were gone out of the nest, we haven't seen any Magpies anywhere.

This morning we worked down in the shop again.  We have just about completed the sorting process with only one more tool chest to empty.  I have actually started setting up a couple of shelves with items that are ready to be priced.  We sold five items on ebay over the weekend, so right after lunch I got them packed, labeled, and ready to ship.  John and I took everything into the post office and then headed to Bemidji to look at current prices for many of the items we have to sell.  We need to get an idea of what different tools cost so we can get set our prices after taking into consideration the age and wear of things.

By the time we finished up at Fleet Farm it was time for supper, so we stopped at BK for a quick bite, gassed up the car, and headed for home.  It will be more of the same tomorrow.
