Beautiful Autumn

There is a nip in the air today, not to mention the snow that has been falling periodically. The leaves fall, the snow falls, the sun shines...the perfect autumn day. There is no place like Wallowa County during the autumn season. As I drive down the highway the trees surround me with lovely colors of orange and yellow and I feel such peace. Even the air smells of autumn, and of course there is the familiar scene of deer hunters and their campers filling our local grocery store parking lot. Except something IS different with that scene, it has changed a bit, because the hunters now have GPS devices in their trucks and dish network on their campers! And they are buying expensive bottles of wine! My goodness, luxury deer camp! Do you suppose they give each other manicures???
Everyone seems happy during the Autumn Season..except my boss at the golf course. When I texted her that is was snowing, she sent me back a bad word..followed by "xo" of course. I sent my "It's snowing! Yahoo!" text to everyone I knew hated winter....all these transplants that are so woosie. I thought I would start their day off on a good note...........
Ashley loves has left for a youth conference and will be returning Saturday night. With a friend. I will have two giggling girls for a week. So for now I will enjoy my peace and quiet. next week I shall strive to suffer in noble silence as the girls catch up on EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING will be so funny to them. Giggly teenage girls........actually they are really fun to be around. Laughter can be catching, and soon I am laughing at them laughing.
I think I will go buy a pumpkin.................
