Today...snow in the mornin' and a whoppin' high of 41 degrees. More snow in the forecast for the next three days with lows in the teens.

| Beautiful leaves on the apple tree |
I'm going to hang on to my memories of the 70 degree days!! But, in the 7 years that we've lived here, this year has been the most colorful.
A normal year would give us freeze-dried, brown leaves! I mowed up the leaves on Sunday and by Monday afternoon, you couldn't tell.
And last year, I didn't rake or mow a single leaf...the wind was blowing so bad all the leaves blew into the next county!

I still have garden clean up in the flower beds as well as the veggie garden. I also want to get the Christmas lights up on the rail fence around the house...should have done that when it was 70 degrees!

| Camera-shy Rastus was finally curious enough about the camera to give it a sniff! Now it looks like he's wearin' a pumpkin on his head in this shot! |
My family is meeting in Central Oregon for a get-to-gather before all the holidays come upon us. Lookin' forward to seeing everyone. Since we live so far away, and it's hard for us to get away from the herd, we're meeting half way...works good for everyone!
Have a great weekend~
Lovely leaves! Nice to see Rastus, up close and personal! Have a great gathering, and hope the wind we are getting today doesn't make it as far as your place, it blew all the leaves off the trees today, except for the ones that are still green.
ReplyDeleteHey! Gtyyup Oakley..... nice kill on the coyote. Have a great time with your family and a safe trip.
ReplyDeletelove those fall golden apple leaves!
ReplyDeleteHaha that is a cute pic of Rastus!, pumpkin on his head or not :) And the leaves are very pretty colored too, ours are almost gone except the few frozen brown ones.
ReplyDeletePretty fall leaves and cute picture of Rastus! Enjoy your visit with family! :)
ReplyDeleteRastus looks like he just got an idea, light bulb moment, he he. I did some raking on Wednesday too, they weren't going to blow anywhere, darn it. It really has been a pretty fall. Stay warm, enjoy the family.
