Indian Summer

Look carefully just by the last fence post on  the right of this picture and you see a deer jumping the fence. I see bucks and does all around the house right now but it is rare I have a camera on hand when they are close enough for a good picture.
 

Well, our Indian Summer was short lived this year. I had windows open all weekend, dried sheets on the line in the sun and generally enjoyed being outdoors as much as possible.  This morning the weather is straight out of the south and raining and warm but the temperature is expected to drop into the 20's tonight and be cold most of the week.  The Old Farmer's Almanac says to expect snow at the end of November and December and the beginning of January. See more at www.almanac.com.
