fall

It's been an interesting fall. It's already November 10, and we have been having mild weather all the way through. I don't even think we've dipped below freezing, although we've almost just. It's been averaging around 50 during the day. And it hasn't been raining. We had that one or two weeks of off and on again rain about a month and a half ago, and then that's been it.

But it has been nice that way. We've been able to get more done (especially on our garage remodel), and it's been so wonderfully crisp and pleasant. I think that it's helped the fall colors to extend. I keep my windows open in my room a lot, to enjoy it all.

Today, I kept hearing noises outside my window, and I thought someone was walking around out there. Then I realized that it was the sound of the walnut leaves falling on the ground and the car. It was so loud, I could hear it through the closed window. I opened my window up to be able to enjoy "fall" better. The instant I opened the window, the wonderful smell of nature, outside, and fall wafted in. Heavenly.

Right now, both my windows are open, because it's raining very nicely. I can't get enough of rain, the sound of it, the feel of it, the smell of it. And of course I live in Wenatchee, with 9 inches of rain a year! :-p

At this moment, it's 56 degrees in my room, and 45 outside.

I'm nice and snuggly warm, with my new fuzzy blanky sent to me from my friend Mandolynn - I can't help but show a picture, it's what this time of year is all about!!!






Ha! I just published this log, and then saw that the apples on the blanky match the apples on my border to the right.....perfect! Lol.
