It's Raining! Yes!

Had to drive to Reno yesterday,easy going down but had to fight the wind all the way coming back .Then in the late afternoon, the first drops fell and I even had to start a fire . I fell a sleep last night to the sound of wind and rain hitting my deck and roof--wonderful !!! ---and my deck is wet this morning.

Woke up once last night and heard the sound of water in a gutter downspout. It's wet outside and raining very lightly.

But the biggest seasonal news is that I turned on the furnace when I got up this morning (for the first time since last spring)...59°F is too cold indoors. Bend has been unseasonably cold the past couple of days, with highs in the 50s and lows down to 30°F in the cold spots around town. (that's after being unseasonably hot -- in the 90s -- on Saturday).

But the biggest seasonal news is that I turned on the furnace when I got up this morning (for the first time since last spring)...

When we got home last evening, it was 63° in the house and we did warm it up with the heat stove on the hearth. Turned it off and slept with the window open. I heard rain. I smelled rain. There were drops on the windshield driving. This morning, all looks dry outside and 80's are predicted for this weekend.
