it's fall...

 Of course, I knew fall was coming. I was maybe in a bit of denial for the last three weeks of chilly rain, fog, and woodstove fires. 

Don't get me wrong, I love fall. But, for the first time ever, I am not especially looking forward to it. 

Thursday marked the first appearance of snow on the mountains + 38 degrees. September weather has been treating us a lot better than August. Now we have beautiful (but cold) sunshine, with abrupt bouts of extremely strong rain. It's a blast. The red flies are out in full force too. 

Anyway, fall is here!
