I had no intention of going into the woods today, but something called my name and sent me there. It was an absolutely miserable day. The rain came down in buckets for the better half of the day, but shortly before dark, the rain tapered off to a mist.
When I headed into the woods, it felt like I was going on an excursion in a tropical rainforest. It was 75 degrees and so humid that I could barely take a step without sweating, and I usually don’t sweat at all. This unbelievable stretch of hot weather doesn’t seem to want to give in and call a truce. I know I shouldn’t be this way, but it’s beginning to get under my skin. Summer weather in the week heading toward the middle of October is getting old. Since I’ve returned from Colorado, we’ve only had two days that remotely resembled typical fall weather. Looking at the extended forecast, I don’t see anything that remotely resembles a chance of frost.
Although the temperatures have been through the roof, it seems as if deer are still moving in daylight hours. I haven’t seen much buck sign yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of days before it starts popping up. It appears that the leaves are going to fall rather late this year. Almost everything is still entirely green.
I wandered around in the rain for a while in hopes of catching a buck off guard. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any luck in my travels. I did use Dad’s new toy tonight, his Quiet Kat electric bike. This thing is incredible for a number of reasons. As an executive ambassador for Quiet Kat, I can give a coupon card for 15% off to anyone who might be interested in buying one. If you or any of your friends is interested, please get a hold of me, and I’ll give you the specifics. Here’s a picture of the bike that my dad is using right now. I’ve used it quite a bit, too, and I love it.
