Cold Front

My brother's house in Soda Springs, ID, got 3 inches of snow yesterday, from the same cold front that swooped though here last night. Of course he lives in the mountains, even though we are basically on the same latitudinal line. So all that cold front did here was drop an inch of really fast, really cold, really driving rain over a couple of hours - and take the temps down to the low 40's. It is supposed to get even cooler tonight, down to 38. Perfect for the first of September!

Yup, time to start getting out my fall decorations, and getting ready for Halloween, and planning for the cool weather. I dried apples yesterday and made apple/pecan bread, and I've still got some more cucumbers to pickle and tomatoes to dehydrate. Then of course we have stopped buying the soft and gummy loaves of store bread, so there's bread to be made. We also were informed by Lake the horse that she was NOT happy about all of those huge tree limbs near the watering trough, so I'll be gathering those today.

Lots of things to do today and this week, and with the coolness in the air, it will be so much easier to move and get them done. Looks lke the summer with all of its grinding heat is over. Now comes the real work!
