You need a 1000 watt HPS LAMP and some indoor trees. Yhey can be lots of fun! Bougies, ficus, Baobab, and on and on. Don't get fooled by all other new age lights either. There is nothing light the big HPS.
Autumn is coming...who's excited and who isnt?

60 miles and 2000 feet make such a difference. We usually get 4-6 inches at a time; sometimes 24 inches! August is about my favorite month (and the trees'). It's the monsoon, when we get frequent thunderstorms moderate temperatures and nice humidity after the hot, dessicating winds of early summer.

Sigh, i try not to think about winter. 3 to 4 feet of snow on the ground and negative temps. I dream of tropical islands a lot in winter!

The Chinese call Trinidad, the land of eternal spring.
Live on a hill facing east, with trees blocking the west, breezes and you are in heaven.
Paint the galvanised roof white.
Temperatures from 90 deg.F [ half an hour or less by day ] to as low as 66 deg.F, and mostly
80's for summer by day , 70 to 75 deg.F by night and cold rain.
Trees are happy. cool moist air and lots of sun to bright light.
Any boy with a magnifying lens will tell you how cloudy we really are.
There isn't a day that goes by that I am thankful for living here.
Now for 2 weeks of no breeze to remind us of spring.
Only people and bad behaviour can spoil this land.
My best wishes to you folk.
Good Day

I've been in Maryland long enough to really hate our winters, we do get huge amounts of snow all at once, like previously stated....but we also get ice storms.
Lots of "freezing rain" and "sleet" during the day and it freezes to everything overnight, just turns roads into sheets of ice.
Prius's just sliding into guardrails and ditches everywhere...

I wish the end of summer would come.
We usually have rain in July and August, after August 15th, storms. But we've had weeks of dry weather, only a few drops of rain that amounted to about 1.5 mm in 40 days.
We've had 34° here for three days.
Someone in my (added) family is a farmer in the richest part of France, what we call "the granary of France". Because of the rain in March, the 100-year floodings we had, and the the hot, dry months after, the production of wheat will be about half what we used to get in the past 5 years.
People drown in Louisiana, and forests burn in California.
And I don't vote in the USA, but I vote in France and in Europe. Even if I cast my vote for the lesser of two or three evils, i'll vote, for i know what those before me did, and had to face and fight, to have the right to speak out without being roasted, gunned down, or buried alive because some power-thirsty weirdo wanted to be the president of the world.
Let's make the world a great place to live together!

Sorry, couldn't find Chief Joseph in this plastic white protestant capitalist story of the US.
Well, at least, native people will be protected from aliens that want to impose their religious stupid beliefs upon them, massacre them to preserve the purity of the race, steal their land, make them second-class citizens if ever they survive in concentration camps thousands of miles away from their land.
That is, if there are enough citizens to vote for the right person, and be happy to send your children to die and be honored some day in a -wow!- great monument of the dead. Like Vincent D'Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket.

I know what you mean, i lived in Oklahoma for a few years. That wind with the ice in the winter can get nasty.

Predictions are for a big snow year this year too!! That's exciting.
As much as I love winter I'm dreading it right now. I have three houses to supply with firewood, a long driveway and a snowblower that never seems to go for more than 20 minutes between repairs.
Loving summer right now but it's all good once we get into it.

I hear ya! I love the big snow years, but i will never be in a rush to see summer end. I do have fond memories of doing community outings to cut wood, when I was living in Field!

This years heat has had everything in a mad dormant state.
The night temps started falling further and everything is hitting
another Spring strength flush here. No I would rather not if
my vote counts for anything. I could use about another 10 to
take advantage of this burst and allow it to harden before the
first freeze. I vote for tee shirt "trick or treat" this year.

The Sangre de Cristo mountains around here got a dusting of snow yesterday. There was still some on the higher peaks today.

Pffft we got a heat wave next week predicted. Temps of 30° C and higher are being foretold. Not really crazy, as the astrological summer is from July 21st to about Sept 21st. The North Sea stays warm until deep into the winter, so with western and southern winds we got a really soft winter. With northern and eastern not so. Dunno which ones we'll get this year.
However, autumn means sweet leaf colours, cutting back and wiring, same as winter, aaaaaaand spring's getting closer!
Can't wait to dig and also can't wait for spring, as that'll be the time I work some of the trees collected last year
I have some larches that could use a wire, a bunch of decidious in need of a cutback and the digging eye has spotted some real nasty badboys to lift!
Also, when one's a ginger, summer sun crisps the fuck outta ya!

We are seeing the first signs of fall, poplar and birch starting to turn, down to mid low 50's overnight. A breeze seems to be always blowing. Actually turned the furnace on this week!
