Starting to cool down some

Finally the weather is starting to cool down a little, not very much but a little. Right now we have a thunder storm brewing right above us. It is bringing a few rain drops with it but only enough to tease us. The bad thing about the lightening right now is because it tends to start forest fires. And as dry as everything is right now the forest fires can get out of control real fast.
We still have a large one going to the northeast of us in an area called lost lake. They have been fighting it for almost a week. Hopefully it will be controlled before another week is out.
We were talking the other night that it seems strange to consider 90 degrees cooler weather.
I have been noticing that the fir trees are really loaded with cones this year. It could be an indicator of a hard winter coming. Mother nature has a way of averaging herself out. The hotter the summer the colder the winter. And the fir trees help back it up.
