My dogs are blowing their coats already, the poplar trees are dropping leaves and the geese are flying.... I think we're in for an early and long winter!

My Muskovys are molting, and the ponies are starting their winter coats.

Well, its still hot here!

Although the high is supposed to be 89 today. That is a welcome relief from the mid to upper ninetys that will be back tomorrow! I did notice a slight bit of coolness this morning but it will be gone soon.

The leaves maple leaves are beginning to change. The bog maples are already flaming red. The pine and spruce trees are loaded with cones and I've never seen so many seeds on the maples. The beach nut trees are loaded. My livestock started putting on winter coats two weeks ago.
Holy smokes! 37? Could you box up some of that and send it to GA? I don't really want 37 F but 65 or 70 would be nice.

We have a huge oak tree that has started changing leaf color over the last week, a few of the poplars are also. We are in southern VA!

D'oh! Sorry, guys, I didn't realize there was more. Here's Spring 2007:


It appears by my astromet
finding that a chiller than normal fall season
and a early winter is just around the
corner. Winter conditions come earlier than normal
into early 2007, but Spring 2007 will arrive earlier
than normal with the northern declination
of Venus by 23 February 2007.

In my estimation - winter, this year, takes place
from November 2006 to end of February 2007, with
improving spring-like conditions by early March 2007.

**FARMERS > who are planning on next year's crops should know
that Spring 2007 transits will be favorable in early March,
giving food producers an early planting season, and
recover from the losses of last year due to
the unusual weather conditions. March 3, 2007, is an
excellent time to begin planting of seeds, with
the resulting yields seeing excellent growth by April 2007
with maturity arriving by May.

The year of weather in 2007 may give farmers
the rare opportunity to harvest rapid crops
several times. However, 2007 shows a rise in insect
and animal activity due to the rough, stormy winter.
Precautions should be taken in the expectation of
insect swarms on food stocks in 2007. The cycle of
the next Venus retrograde (July 27, 2007 to Sept. 8, 2007)
indicates adjustments and protection of crops, with
earlier harvesting before July 27, then continued
harvesting after Sept. 8th. Expect hibernating animals
to wake up very hungry after burning their body fat
during the previous winter months.**

The Strange Summer of 2007 ~

The Summer of 2007 is lengthy, with
a Indian Summer due to the retograde
of Venus (27 July 2007 to 8 September 2007)
in Leo, with summer conditions lasting into
November 2007 combined with the transit
of Mars in tropical Cancer.

A very long Summer 2007 is ahead next year,
which will be the first El Nino year with
the Sun already having reached its peak
minimum cycle. Warmer temperatures, and
tropical like precipitation will be the
main theme of all of 2007 - a warm year,
with above normal precipiation, flooding,
and drought conditions existing in regions
known to suffer them during El Nino years.

This Astromet Outlook continues to
maintain that an earlier than usual
and stormy winter season will prevail in the
northern hemisphere, with wetter
conditions, gusty winds, and
heavy precipiation arriving earlier
than normal.

Expect the next two fall seasons to
be earlier than normal (this year, 2006)
and later than normal (next year, 2007).

This leads to some odd climate events
with a shifting taking place in July 2007
that extends tropical-like,
and wetter summer conditions into autumn
altering autumn 2007 considerably ~

Changes?

Some one asked the other day about Mars being so close on the 27th of this month that it would look like the moon when full. They were shut down and told not to post those questions here. I belive that things like that influance how things are here on our orb??? I am just a biker who lives in the hills, but I know a drought when I see one. It has been over 100 degreees fareinhieght for most of the last two months in our area. Rains happen, but they are scattered and never enough. I dug a hole trying to locate an under ground line. We dug down six feet. I noticed how dry the earth was. There was no moisture till we were almost two feet down. In one spot it was only sixteen inches till it started to moisten up. The trees are stressing from the heat and I have lost several good old oaks on the ridge in the last two years.
Last year it was so bad that when you would throw dirt on the flames the dirt would burn!!! This is not a joke. Is the axis of our planet turning? As homesteaders we take note of the way things go. Too much rain on the north east no rain in the central states, Tonadoes in states that have never had them monster hurracaine that has devestated our southeren states.
I for one have taken note. Here is where I will lose a lot of you who have not already bailed thinking I am a twilight zone refugee.
END TIMES? I can not quote scirpture or verses, but I have read the good book and it seems mighty coinsidental that a lot of what is descibed in there is happening while I am alive. The sound of the cicadads is more intense than I have ever heard them. I have lived in many parts of our country and visited several lands of our planet. People that have stopped to smell the roses can also be held in the small number of those that are aware.
Well I have on my flame proof drawers. I also want to take this oppurtunity to thank all our veterans for allowing me to worship, and live freely.
