Our first spitting snow


So on Thursday, we had our first taste of snow.  It didn’t stick here, but the white stuff was flying from time to time.  It  was probably one of the chillest days so far.  That makes it kind of late around here. 

I usually do all of my fall work in October.  Because of my broken wrist, I haven’t done as much.  On Saturday, I dug up my dahlias from the edge of the patio.  On Sunday, Sascha came in behind me and dug up a couple I missed!  I don’t yet if this a good thing or a bad thing.  Can I harness this power for good?

On the 19th, Sascha will have been with us for 4 months.  It seems like she has been here for a lot longer.  She has definitely added fun to our lives, if you don’t mind being mauled.  Sascha loves to be petted and seeks a lot of attention.  I like it that her favorite targets are Rich and Rick. 

I figured that Sascha was going to enjoy the cooler weather.  We just haven’t had enough to tell how much.  It really hasn’t been cool enough to go dog scootering either.  Remember, the temperature and the humidity have to be less than a combined total of 120 to run comfortably for the dog without a danger of heat stroke.  We haven’t had that many days that have less than 120 so far.  I did catch Sascha in the yard enjoying some snow earlier this week.

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate soon.  Not that I’m looking forward to anything under 40!
