Summer Wind Dowm

 We are now into October, in 2020 we had 5 mornings where we had a Frost,  going back into the Calander they were pretty Heavy Frosts !  We are just starting to lose the leaves off the trees and there is now pretty Fall colors on the Trees in some higher elevations !

Above is from last Years Frost on the leaves in October around the 7th of October !

.

The "Stanley" Plum Tree next door has now started to slow down and the Plums are starting falling and turning very soft.

.

.

There still delicious and will miss going from fresh Plums to dried Prunes ! LoL !

.

.

 I found a nice Picnic Table that needed a little repair and Paint job,  I removed the one plank seat and replaced it.

.

. 

Got it ready now and gotta get that Navy Grey Paint on it for our Fall "Shrinp Boil" !

My Honey came outside to check up on me !   It has been up in the 70's for the past several weeks and nice and warm at night .

This is the back Yard wood line and shows our trees starting to turn like the Higher Elevations are.    

.

It looks like Summer is winding Down and Fall is approaching, I prefer the longer Days of Daylight, don't like it dark at 6:30 PM Now and dislike turning the Clocks back !

Navy Birthday

 Wednesday October 13th is the 246th Birthday of the United States Navy,  Today Saturday the 9th at Bassett-Baxter American Legion Post 789 we started back up our annual "Navy Day" !    For many Years we held "Navy Day" at the Legion Post until 2008, that year several Members felt it was unfair that the Navy was allowed to hold a Party and so they were stopped.

.

With the New Commander she stated that we would restart the Tradition of "Navy Day" and we did today ! 

.

.

The first Navy Day we held had 6 Former Navy Veterans show up, we drank some beer, ate some "Monkey Brain Soup" and we had some delicious Navy Bean Soup.  Back someYears ago this was a group that attended one of the earlier Navy Days we held at the Post.
