Saying Goodbye to Fall

The past few weeks have been that in-between season. Not generally nice enough for real hiking and no snow for skiing. Leaves have been gradually disappearing, although the apple trees in our yard still have their leaves. In fact, some haven't even turned color yet. We really haven't had a frost; I think zero was our coldest temperature early one morning.

We have been doing some walking. This view looks down Kootenay Lake on a day that really seemed more like a warm spring day than late fall. We were walking the Cedar Creek trail near Ainsworth on one of the few nice days we've had recently.

Things on the estate are ready for winter. Garden tools put away, wood all under cover, garden tilled, mulch and compost spread around. Snow has been forecast for later this week. So far, though, all we've noticed is the snow level dropping down closer and closer to our location. We hear of snow east of the Rockies, storms even. Big wind storms on the Pacific coast cutting power to thousands of people. Not much here, though. I'm predicting it will be December before we get freezing weather. Perhaps I'll be proved wrong this week.
