Prayers for you to be safe.
Prayers for anyone down south dealing with the hurricane. Grateful to be north in the middle of the continent.
Thank you! We have no power or internet, but we do have a generator, I can connect to local cell service, and everyone is safe.
It dropped 50 degrees yesterday. From 93 down to 39. Billy is happy about his fur this morning.
It's been freezing regularly overnight here. The golds of autumn are everywhere but the leaves will soon be on the ground. That "pretty time" is almost over already. Forecast for snow on Monday. It won't stay yet, but I won't be surprised if we do get some.
"Historic" fire at the Wildlife Refuge near us. The wind came our way yesterday and the smoky air was alarming. Winds gusty and high fire risk, due to dryness. I heard that 11,000 acres burned. It was believed to have been started by a motorist pulling off the road and the exhaust caught the dry grass on fire. I think it is under control this morning. It is called the Rush Lake Fire.
Crazy autumn weather--windy and warm. Chance of rain on Wednesday for us. My flowers are all wind-blown. The only good thing is the pasture is dormant so Billy can get out and wander around.

Oh my goodness I'm glad you are safe. That's so scary. It was a big year for wildfires again up here. However, it is part of nature rejuvenating.
We've got a forecast for an inch of snow tomorrow. I hope it doesn't come because my daughter and I have a 2-hour drive south to our provincial driving club's AGM. My daughter's won the junior high point award. I have earned my 100-hour pin so we'll have to make the drive. It starts at 1:00, so we won't need to be driving in the dark either way.

Congratulations both of you Albertians 
! That is awesome!
Hope your drive was easy!

At last! A lovely 3+ inches of rain. Straight down with no wind. Hopefully Billy's hooves will now be soft enough to work on the excess sole! He is a dirty, muddy boy today.
More rain! The ponds are filling! Definitely rubber boot weather.
Checked the trap today. There haven't been packrats for a few days so I thought it was over. Today there was a drowned one. It wasn't in the water, so not sure how he drowned. Has your horse ever looked "like a drowned rat"? It's a pretty good simile.

Still no real snow here, but the hoar frost this morning is so pretty!
And today it's snowing! We're supposed to get a lot of accumulation before the end of the weekend. I'll post a picture after it stops. I'm ready to start the Christmas carols now!
Do you have hemlocks?
That is beautiful. We have had hoar frost here and the landscape always looks like something out of a fairy tale.
No real snow here either though we had snow showers the other day and you could see a bit on the ground before it melted.

Nope, too cold here for that. Tamarack, all sorts of pine, plenty of aspen, birch, wild roses and various other hearty grasses and shrubs.
