This week

Greetings from Windy Hills!

While most friends of WH are still in summer mode, a noticable shift in seasons is apparent on our fair mountain. The first frost of autumn fell on Sunday night, and the evening and morning temperatures have plummetted. While afternoons are still bright and balmy, the early morning greets us with a slower sun and frosty breath. Be sure to pack your sweater and even some mittys on your next trip up!

What's happening this week at the ranch:
- The eagles and geese have moved on to winter grounds, along with all but two of the hummingbirds.
- Projects in the works outside include a fuel shed (by the generator), installation of a gorgeous new tub, garden clean-up, horse schooling, and the daily this'n'that.
- The house is a feeling the warmth of a more frequent fire in the woodstove (a fact not missed by the woodshed mice!).

Enjoy your week, and may your road lead up to these Windy Hills before long!
