“An Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Several references describe a true Indian summer as not occurring until after the first frost, or more specifically the first "killing" frost.”” Wikipedia
By that definition we are experiencing Indain Summer. The temperature dropped to 15 degrees this week, certainly a ‘killing frost’. At this writing the temperature is 59 and projected into the higher 70s this weekend.
It’s prime harvest weather and the corn is now dry enough to go directly into the bin without artificial drying. That’s huge cost savings for the farmers. Last fall there was significant rainfall locally that recharged the soile moisture. That, coupled with some spring rains, made the crop. Now the subsoil moisture is depleted.
Today’s walk in the field was bird-less but still enjoyable for both hunter and hound.
