Wednesday, November 7. Well, the weather is certainly shifting hereabouts. Very slight snow flurries are falling as I write and the temperature is in the low 40's. We have had a couple of mornings when it has fallen to the low 20's. Seems like the Fall is shaping up for the onset of Winter. Nonetheless we have had fine days and probably need some precipitation as things are quite dry. Here you see where I live...
