My Mountain Trail

Now I Understand

Well the mystery about the early fall weather is solved.  Today it is winter.  We woke up yesterday (at about 3 a.m.) to thunder, lightening and just a little bit of rain.  That happens about once a year around here, so it was quite a novelty.  Hey, maybe even a little scary for me and Cookie.  Anyway, we didn’t sleep that well.  The day kind of cleared up with the sun’s trajectory, but it never warmed up too much. 

Then, today it started foggy and then misty.  Then rainy.  Winter rainy, and windy.  So, now it all makes sense…  I miss the summer.  Oh, it’s all temporary I’m sure.  And actually this is good for fire safety this year.  It’s just a little shocking to see fall seemingly pass so quickly.  Here’s a pic of some ornamental grass in our garden (where I pulled a couple of stumps and planted an orange tree in the rain this afternoon).
