I say I think as we have been waking up to 40ish for temps - but by lunch is up to close to if not 80. I guess Mother Nature has her own calender she goes by. A few places are starting to have leaves change in our area of the Treasure Valley - but not many. I'm sort of ready for a change in seasons but I also know it means winter will be coming. I'm not sure I am ready for the cold. I still have some not so fond memories of our first winter here...the ice fog on the highway for one.
On the walk back from the bus stop this morning the girls declared it was time to get the fall/Halloween decorations out.. I sd no not yet. I'm not ready for it....not really. They on the other hand are more than ready for fall - more specifically Halloween...they have their costumes all figured out.....we'll see if they change their minds and how many times they do so. Their older brother was known to keep changing his mind almost as many times as he changed his clothes. We will see if the 12 yr old will be wanting to do anything this year, and if he does what he comes up with.
The garden is slowly fading - the last of the produce is making an effort to hurry up and finish growing so it can be picked. We have been apple picking and gotten some grapes from some nearby neighbors - who have lots more to share. Some green beans have been frozen along with some shredded zucchini, a peach pie will be frozen soon along with some apple pies and a few bags of sliced apples. A big jug of apple cider is chilling in the firdge....yeah I guess it's fall......we even had a small bonfire and roasted marshmellows and made s'mores the other night... it was a great way to end the day. Think we will have to do it again real soon.
