Beautiful October

What an amazing week it has been.  We experience our first hard freeze earlier in the week.  It was so much better than last year.  This week it was only in the twenties.  

Last year this time we were shocked by below zero temperatures and snow.  We are happy to enjoy these warm, beautiful days.

The rest of the week improved in temperature waking to high thirties and low forties.  We enjoyed a couple of days around seventy.

Yesterday it never rose above fifty.  A soft rain spinkled on us most of the day then poured as we went to bed.  This morning it is cloudy and the mountains appear to have received a dusting of snow.

What a beautiful October.  I love the colors in the sky this time of year.
