Another burst of Autumn!

Last weekend we were supposed to get cold and rainy...just in time for Halloween. It didn't. After planning costumes for cold weather, it stayed warm. Halloween night it was about 60 degrees outside for the kids to go trick or treating. Such a nice change from other years where it has actually been spitting snow on some occasions. All this week we kept waiting for it to get cold and it has been in the mid 70's every day! SO nice! We were able to get out and enjoy Fall for yet another week. Today the forecast says about 70. Tomorrow? Not so much...try cold and rainy. Friday? Try cold and rainy...turning to snow Friday night and snow called for on Saturday and Sunday. ICK! So, I suppose if I am going to do anything outdoors, I had better get to it today. But, I do have to say, this is one of the things I do enjoy about the midwest. I like the changing of seasons. I like to be able to see the changing color of the leaves and freshly fallen snow and budding, flowering trees. It is all a part of God's beautiful creation. So I will try not to complain too much about it.
