getting colder
Another cool front is moving in tonight. The temperature has been dropping all day and a light rain fell for awhile in the afternoon. Building services failed to keep up in the temperatures in the office and I had to put on my jacket to keep from shivering.
It's time to do something about the furnace at home too. I turned it on to test it and then Tricia reminded me that the AC man had turned off the gas to it when he was here doing some maintenance in the summer. Seems he had found something wrong with the vent stack. Probably the roofers had taken it apart when they were doing their job and didn't assemble it right. I had forgotten all about that. It didn't seem very important in July. Now I need to go up in the attic and determine whether this is a job I can do myself or whether I will have to call in the professionals.
That's Lindheimer's muhly blowing in the wind. This is the season it looks it's best. It's one of the few successes I have had with grasses. I have tried seep muhly and love grass also, which have stayed alive but don't seem to look as nice in my yard as they do at the nursery.
