I believe summer is over. There is a nip in the air and, as you can see in the photo near the Anoka library, color in some of the trees. I wanted this summer to be great. I wanted this summer to make up for the summer of last year when I was recovering from a leg injury. I believe the summer of 2014 was a great one for me. The weather was good although rainy. We had some heat but not too much. Stormy weather was at a minimum. I can't remember hearing the tornado sirens other than on tornado awareness day. I had a really good mixture of activities. I went camping 3 weekends and a full week. So I had plenty of time sleeping on the ground. I went on a couple nice, long bike rides. I went kayaking quite a few times as well. The warm weekends in early September helped achieve all these great adventures. The garden was good but not great. I haven't harvested the carrots, potatoes, kohlrabi or gourds yet but I got plenty of jalapeno peppers. The sunflowers, as usual, were ruined by the deer. This year the deer teased me by waiting until the sunflower was 3 feet tall before biting the top off of it. I grew castor beans hoping for a "Jack in the Beanstalk" type of giant plant. But my castor beans are about knee high. In any case, it was a good summer. I hate to see it end but it was a good summer. I enjoyed it very much.
