Brrr...

I had a feeling for over a month now that winter would come early. Little did I know we would get our first snow on September 1st, though! Brrr! Of course, since the ground isn't frozen down here in the valley the snow melted within hours of the sun rising. Still, when it isn't raining we've seen snow flurries today. It's chilly! It finally warmed up to 47 degrees, but that doesn't feel very warm and it's supposed to get down to 29 degrees tonight. The rest of this week it's supposed to get into the 60's. The warmest day of the week (Sunday) is supposed to get up to 71 degrees. I'm wearing layers today since I'm not used to this weather. I refuse to turn the heat on this early in the season! Especially since this place is heated with heating oil. Ugh. We're hoping to talk the landlord into allowing us to put in a wood stove. That would save us thousands! If that doesn't work we'll heat with the minimum needed, which would make it a very chilly winter.

Anyway, I didn't mean to bore everyone with a weather update! Still, it's on my mind since I sit here in a lightweight fleece jacket thinking to myself... it's supposed to feel like summer still!

Last night I made up a big batch of cake donuts (the ones covered in cinnamon and sugar) for my hubby who had a hankering for them. They sure are tasty. Especially if eaten along with a glass of fresh apple juice. I've made way too many sweets this week; huckleberry pie, cherry pie, oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate cake w/homemade vanilla frosting, and then the donuts. Is anyone getting a sweet tooth reading this? Good thing I keep finding plenty of help eating these things or certain, unmentionable parts on me might be showing extra, unwanted gain right now!

Well, that's all I can think of for now. I really should get to cleaning since I have a friend coming over tomorrow to craft with me! I hope everyone is having an excellent Labor Day! Bye for now!
