Greetings and welcome!

We have a very typical mid-October day under way this morning. It is 34ºF heading for a high of 39. There is a pretty steady drizzle, and every few minutes it changes over to snow. One minute it is light rain, then a lot of small flakes, and 5 minutes later it is big sloppy flakes. I guess that we are living on the edge with the first snow of the fall..

The fall colors have passed their peak thanks to our fitful weather bringing rain and wind. There is still a lot of color out there, but there are a lot of bare trees too. The big stars of the show are in the aspen/cottonwood/popple family. (Terrible phone pic but it gets the idea across..)

We have a fun event coming up tomorrow. I wish that I had known about it sooner.

We have some cool weather ahead this weekend with highs only getting into the mid-40s. So far I don’t see any nights threatening exposed plumbing, but it is time to start thinking about winterizing it. A lot of years we can wait until late November. Some years it is a lot sooner. I will probably be on that once the weather clears up.

Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
