Same here. 50's & 60's. Chilly, but I love Fall, so it's all good for me. I need to transplant some plants before Winter.

We are the same in temps, might set a new record low for the high today only 61. One week ago we were 100 degrees, hot and sunny and now rainy (which we desperately needed) and cool. As sunshine says going to work on splitting some perennials and moving stuff. My river birch trees have lost half their leaves already, having to empty the skimmer twice a day or I get the dreaded sucking sound.

We've had normal 70's temps during the day, but dropping way to to the 40's at night. Outlook fo rthe rest of the week is between 71 and 81 with lows 50-58. Fells like football weather for sure in the evening.

Same here moving plants around, well once it stops raining. Did get a bunch moved before it started. Have a few more to do.

At least we finally have wet ground, it has been rock hard and dry all summer.

Our rain was last weekend, along with some horrible wind AGAIN!!!

luckily, my tall plants didnt get taken out this time, surprising since my cannas are over 6 feet tall.

unluckily, one of my tress didnt fair so well in the wind. and neither did the fence when the tree hit it :)

bonfire anyone?

Everybody is talking about it cooling off, well the high today was 109 and I'm ready for it to cool down some. At least we are coming out of the 113 and 115 degree weather. They say it will start to cool down some next week and stay in the low 100's so I'm very happy!!

Addy, I haven't even seen many of the snowbirds return yet and I don't blame them one bit......lol!

At least the roads are not crowded yet. I don't miss that heat at all.
