Deer Grooming Session

Ken enjoys watching the deer up close in our back yard. This week he observed a mother grooming her baby. Fortunately Ken was able to capture some of the exchange on film.

Fall is definitely here. The mornings are in the twenties and the afternoons from fifty to sixty degrees. This morning it is a perfect fall day. The sun is shining. The wind is silent and the temperature outside is warming up from an early morning read of twenty-six.

October One

Ken just sent me these images he captured on October 1st. I was out of town last week attending a conference on essential oils in Salt Lake City. The weather was beautiful when I left on Tuesday and lovely on Saturday.

In between those two days temperatures dropped to the twenties and lots of snow fell. Ken reported about three inches in town. Friends who live outside of town at a higher elevation reported as much as four feet.

Temperatures this week have been lower than normal for this time of year. There was frost on the card this morning and temperatures only in the low fifties. Winter came a bit early this year.
