I Think It's Fall...

It's been cold the last couple of nights. It got down to 36 the night before last and tonight it is already 34 degrees at 10 PM. Forry's been going out and shutting off the water so that we don't have a frozen water line (then I have to remember to turn on the pump so that we get water from Auntie Violet's tank instead of from the hose). We've had the electric heater out and on -- it's on a thermostat so only kicks in as the temperature drops and it's been definitely been turning on!

We had such lovely weather last week. I wish it had held until after the Mennonite Country Auction (http://www.mennonitecountryauction.mennonite.net/) this Saturday. It's quiet now, but we had a nasty wind most of the day. It's always a concern the week before the sale. We've only had major rain twice, but nice weather sure increases the crowd -- and the amount of money raised!

It's always sort of ironic to see the fields of winter wheat greening up as it's getting colder and colder:

But the the green thistles start turning color and you know Fall is here!
