Taste of fall in the Shenandoah Valley

We have had gorgeous weather in the Shenandoah Valley this week with daytime highs in the 70s and low humidity. Monday night's low in the 50s will give way to a low in the 40s Tuesday night ... a taste of the fall weather to come. After spending a sultry weekend in Richmond, it is nice to be home with such enjoyable weather.

The drone of circadas and crickets can be heard in the warmth of the day as some early leaves are beginning to fall from locust and bass trees, and tree frogs can be heard in the evenings as the sun goes down. Our neighbor is busy baling hay.

It is late summer in the Valley....
