And just in the nick of time.
By the end of the week, the high is only suppose to reach the mid-50's.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
has arrived!
With all its finery.
The peach candles now replaced by Apple Fritter scent. Yesterday, I fixed the first kettle of soup beans with butter and onions. Today is reserved for redecorating the house and patio.
The new term for all of this is Dopamine Decorating.
Because it makes you feel good, I suppose.
I did seasonal switch-ups long before it was trendy....and yes...it does make you feel wonderful.
Brooks Falls is already well into Fall...and Dumpling Mountain is topped with snow.
In fact...poor Otis (480) was caught on camera the other morning when a heavy rain turned into snow...it didn't last...or stop him from fishing.
I did get a good laugh from the bear-people the other day.
Remember when I casually mentioned that if the government shut down...the Fat Bear Week would be postponed???
Well...THAT wouldn't do.
No...not at all.
And suddenly there were a great number of the bear-folk calling their respective Congressmen/women.
I kid you not.
Disruption of our government...pay stopped...programs cut/defunded...apparently they were okay with all of that.
But don't mess with Fat Bear Week.
Anyway, they've kicked the can down the road another 45 days and FBW appears to be saved...lol!
In bear news...26 sadly lost her remaining cub...and a late but new arrival for me (#22) PJ
A beautiful chocolate colored male who got his nickname by intentionally going out on the lip of the falls and jumping into the far pool repeatedly.
It is also how he received his identifying characteristics of twin scars across his snout..compliments of Grazer (128)...and Walker (151) who did not find his diving act at all entertaining.
He is quiet...kind of goofy...and a loner.
The ball games were good yesterday. Kansas won theirs...and although the Colts didn't- Anthony Richardson had a 4th quarter comeback worthy of Tom Brady.
And yes...I am over the whole spectacle the media is making of Kelce and Swift...why do you ask???
She sent me this.
Pruning is in order...but he should look lovely next Spring, hon.
And John's neighbor/friend, Chris, has started his over-the-top Halloween Decorations, already.
It is really amazing!
Off to play in the plants!!!!
