What a difference a couple of days can make!!

Earlier this week it was WINDY and yucky out and yesterday and today it is just like early summer or late fall!! I got the cars washed yesterday and we have the sheets out on the line today. Boy it is a picture perfect day with the Cowboys playing the Aztecs of San Diego here in the Gem City of The Plains!!

got the rain gutters swept out of leaves and cottonwood branches so most of my outdoor chores are done till next year..

The Kale in the front flower bed is still going strong!! They say it will last way into the winter..
Amazing!!

Wierd!!!
About 3 weeks ago I lost my Pontiac keys (aka the green car)!! I searched and searched every where and do you think I could find them!! I had no idea where they could be!! No keys!!

Alas as I was unloading groceries for a trip to the cabin this Halloween weekend when I looked down and there they were on the edge of the driveway next to the grass!! How weird is that as I looked there at least twice maybe more but I never saw them!!

Spooky!!

or was it just a senior moment!!

WINTER IS HERE IN WYOMING!!!

Went out and played train rescue last night from 10pm till 7 this morning and believe me I know for sure that the Indian summer has changed to Winter!! Burrrr it was 17 degrees when I got home this morning.. Needless to say I removed the 'dead' flowers out of the flower boxes on the front porch and put them in the shed for the long long winter!!
Snow still on the highway right-of-ways on Sherman hill. The Snowy Range road is closed for the season as they got pounded with this last storm last weekend.
Oh boy I knew it would show up but I'm not 'hardened' up yet..
Need to wear more layers of clothing I guess!!

October 23rd and it is raining outside.. No snow just rain.. What is going on with the weather patterns that we have gotten used too?? I'm not complaining just wondering when we are going to get the "big one"!!!
Went to Bonnie's cabin this morning for a cup of coffee and it just started to flurry up there. No snow on the ground at Albany but there is up above!!

Still have the 2 flower boxes with flowers in them and I'm going to cut some sweet pea flowers this afternoon.

There is suppose to be another storm move in Sunday and Monday so maybe the white stuff will show it's ugly head then.

Will keep you posted..

It is hard to believe it is October 16th here in Laramie!!! With it being UW's homecoming week and another top 10 team to compete against!

Here is some of the Autumn color at the Eberhart residence.. Remember it is October and it should be yellow/brown and sometimes white with snow!!

GETTING READY FOR WINTER!!!

Last night on the way home from work it rained/sleeted hard on Sherman Hill! So today I "winterizer" the Eberhart residence.. I moved all but 2 flower boxes (they still hadn't froze even though it got to 30 deg last night with a heavy frost on the windshields) and I blew out the water hoses and put them away in the shed..

We have been using the wood stove burning "rail tops" as it gets chilly when the sun sets here in the High desert plains of Laramie..

Got the windshield snow blade and scrapers in the vehicles so all we need is for old man winter to rear it's ugly head and last till FOREVER!!

Leaves on the trees have all but fell off with still a whole bunch of "hanger's on" waiting for me to put the mulching mower away for the winter!! The flowering crab apple tree leaves still haven''t fell off so they must not of felt the effects of the cold but when it does the leaves curl up and fall off rather late in the fall season..

All we can do now is hunker down and pray for spring!!

But we have REX in the garage ready to 'rock & roll'..
