10 Reasons Why Fall Beats Summer In North Dakota!

I'm sorry, I'm over summer already. 

Did I really just type that?  I'm sorry, I like summer a lot but fall is the crown jewel of them all.

The recent 90-degree heat waves that made it almost too hot to even go outside unless you are on a sandbar somewhere.

Thunderstorms are one of my favorite things about summer.  We actually had a fairly stormy summer and with the exception of the damaging winds and hail, thunderstorms are one of my favorite things about summer.

I'm just not a fan of the heat in the summer and here's why.

When it's too hot to do yard work, (I mowed my weeds yesterday) the grass isn't growing very much in August, so you have to mow the weeds every now and then.

Forget about trying to work on anything in the garage, as it's like a sauna in there. Basically, add 10 to 15 degrees to whatever the current temperature is, and that's the temp of your garage.

There's even a time when it's too hot to go fishing.  That's right, fishing in 90-plus-degree heat gets to be a little too much for me.

Going for a walk or run in the evening is about the only thing I'm doing outdoors on hot days.

That got me thinking about 10 things to look forward to this fall and the cooler weather.

I grabbed a pen and paper, and here's what I came up with.  I'm really curious how many of these 10 things you enjoy as well.  Is fall your favorite season of the year like me?  Let me know in the comments.
