It is darn cold here! Last night it got down to about 30 degrees. Yesterday, the high didn't even break 50 degrees. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Who wants to live somewhere where the first killing frost is the second week of September?

I believe that the long-range weather forecast is for a warmer than usual winter, but you couldn't tell it by this weather. The many squirrels in our yard have been very busy and are getting pretty fat. The deer have been visiting us once or twice a day lately, too, eating the acorns and other goodies from the yard.

The upside is that it's pretty good weather for sleeping. Rene and Janet are running in a 4 mile trail run today, so it's better to be cool than hot. I guess there are some pluses.
