Fall In

We have a (relative) heat wave in store for the next couple of days.

Not freezing or raining or snowing makes it easier for me to finish prepping and packing my rig for travel.
 
I went out for lunch today, and I wore long pants...but a short-sleeve shirt and sandals.

One handy thing about the cold season: Wearing a jacket provides more pockets for carrying things when out and about.
 
Middle of the night... must be raining -- I hear drip drip drip in the downspout outside my bedroom. 44°F.
 
I knew "if you build it they will come".
I had new rain gutters installed last Friday and it must have been
an omen to the rain gods.
Not much but it wet the bushes and cleared off the dust.

Maybe more soon?

I predict it will start snowing hard. I dropped the snowblower quick hitch hydraulic cylinder off at the shop for rebuild to fix a leak. Can't clear snow 'til I get it back.
 
A beautiful sunrise and a nice light rain this morning. Snow on the Elkhorn peaks, the larch, aspen and cottonwood trees are a wonderful golden. I’m at peace.
