Fall has come to the mountains!

It was one of those Fall days where you look outside and the sun is shining bright on the trees and you think "what a beautiful day"... and then you hear something on the roof and think "is that rain?"... and look outside and it's hailing. Then the thunder and lightening come "BOOM"... and shake the house. Then the rain. Then you look outside again and it's sunny, as if nothing has happened.

That was our weird weather yesterday. It's part of the Fall unstable air and storm pattern we get in the Northwest during the Fall and Spring Seasons. It also brought this super cold air with it. Vil and I went for a walk after the storm last night. It was a gorgeous, chilly evening, with sun was out setting on Mt. Si. The trees were changinging and the air was cold, so I dug out my gloves and scarf. Turns out it was 42 degrees... brrrr. That's pretty cold for this time of year. The first snow of the year has hit the high hills further up the pass- check out the 3rd picture down.

Here are some shots from our day. Enjoy!
