Scribes Valley Notes

Okay, I'm fed up. It's supposed to be cool now. The temperatures are supposed to be in the mid to lower seventies. Breezes are supposed to be crisp. Leaves are supposed to be turning beautiful colors. Quilts are supposed to be moving from closets to beds. Instead...we're sweating as humidity threatens to smother us as we set on our back porches, work in our yards, walk through the woods. What the heck? Where is Autumn? Where is it hiding? Where has it gone? Scribes Valley Publishing
