Last Summer's Evening Pipe

[JimPM]

Shakespeare had it right when he penned the phase “summer’s lease hath all too short a date”. Spending my last night enjoying a sweet bowl of plain old C&D’s Red Virginia Ribbon. It’s fruity, earthy, deliciously woody, and just at comforting bit of herby spice.

We've had temps in the high 80's here in Maryland all week and I also enjoyed a pipe on the patio last night in shorts and a t-shirt. Our temps turn down starting tomorrow and I suspect future patio pipes will be during the day, with a sweatshirt.

Pensacola Florida finally cooling down a bit. Pipe on the back porch in the shade.

Summer has left us in the dust here in the mountains an hour and change north of Los Angeles. Went out to feed the birds this morning, about 8am. There was frost on the deck railing. Temperature? 39 degrees.

We've been up here going on seven years now. Lowest it has ever gotten was 6 degrees last winter. I bet we dip below zero for the first time...and if we do, I bet the news doesn't report on it!

But before I go off on a tangent...just finished my last summer pipe, C&D Folklore (sample) in my Stefano Santambrogio bent Rhodesian. Thermometer said 55, felt colder than that. Methinks it's going to be a brutal winter...



All in all, I'm glad my favorite season has finally arrived. Time for some goopy aromatics...I'm lookin' at you, Moontrance!

darn I love the fall. The fall is so great because it means it's the longest amount of time before the horrors of summer return.

Not yet. About a month left. Maybe more.

We were given a taste of autumn here in The Natural State and then the heat returned with a vengeance. Back to the heat of summer blends. Also been dry as an old bone in Death Valley, grass is fairly crunchy underfoot...

Expectations are a long, wet-cold winter like last one.

but it's a dry heat. That's what people always tell me about it. I can sorta believe that because when it's just hot I don't mind any where near as much as when it's hot and you need a knife or blade just to move through the air.

I’m in northeast Michigan, and yesterday it in the mid 80’s…..today, it’s in the 60’s……. As the Starks would say, Winter is Coming!

Lucky! Here right now it's 98 degrees and high humidity. And if that wasn't bad enough there's mosquitoes all over. Otherwise, every things peachy.

I feel for you!! I am so happy those little micro winged vampires have died off for the season.

Don’t think I even need to weigh in here. Summer is a distant memory

If you live in Alaska you know all about mosquitos. A long time ago I lived in Anchorage, Juneau and Thane.

Haha yeah. No shortage of those little A-holes around.
