Along with the wonderful absence of stink bugs, I've noticed that the walnuts are falling off the big tree next to my house, very prematurely. Usually they start dropping at the end of the summer, but smaller, sticky ones, the size of ping-pong balls rather than racquetballs, have been banging down on the roof and the deck for the past few weeks. I'm not sure if this reflects the weather conditions of the past month or season or is an indicator of future weather, in a "Farmer's Almanac" sort of way.
The orange daylilies along the roadsides are starting to bloom, and I think the wild thistles are especially pretty this year. Their flowers are like a cloud of lavender atop the fields; the leaves, of course, are another story.
