While working outside Friday a huge Sun Dog lit up the western sky, foretelling of a cold front soon to be arriving in our area

Sundog

The day was rather warm for a November day so we kept on

Weeds

checking the fences and rebuilding where they had been torn down

TerryThat is Terry the tiny dot on the gray looking hill.  He will check the fences between our neighbor to the south

GrassHere he is again almost to the top.

While he is doing that the dogs and I headed down to the west of the place.  The most damage will come from those two areas and the north.

Horizon

Yep!  Right on time!  Saturday the cold front came in…rain, bitter wind, and snow in places.  We only had a sprinkle of rain and the sharp wind, but it looks like the mountains collected lots of white stuff.  Come next spring we will be able to water our crops with melted snow! 🙂

Cold

Today the clouds are lifting and a small chill breeze is pushing them away clearing the sky.

It looks like a promising day!
